If I recall correctly the AuthUserFile line needs to point with the
absolute path to the htpasswd file ex:
/home/webuser/public_html/directory/.htpasswd
AuthUserFile /absolute/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Registered Users Only"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
