So? What does it say in the server error log? How are you accessing the folder - do you try to get a file? Are you trying to execute a CGI program? (the error looks more like the kind of response you get from a failed CGI program). By the way, there are a couple of snags with your .htaccess file: > AuthUserFile E:/WebSites/acro/password/.htpasswd This is a funny filename to use. "htpasswd" is the name of a program in the apache suite - it is the program used to make password files. Don't you find it confusing to type: htpasswd -c .htpasswd test? Also, what are you going to call your next password file (e.g. for a different folder)? I usually use the extension "pwd" and a name which reflects the contents of the folder, so for example, I have password files called "member_section.pwd", "private_area.pwd" and so on. > AuthName Test Signon This is the phrase which appears in the pop-up password challenge. If you want more than one word you are supposed to put it in quotes, so you should have: AuthName "Test Signon" > AuthType Basic Fine. > require user test So only one user (called "test") can enter this area. Is this what you want? A more general solution is to put: Require valid-user then anyone listed in the password file (called, e.g. "test_area.pwd") can get in. By the way, use the correct case in directives (i.e. capital "R" for Require) - I know it doesn't matter with windows but maybe one day you'll be working on a unix system... If you get lucky.
