I made many many tech calls to ipage.  They were less than helpful in solving
the problem.  I found a way to make it work.  Basically, you cannot use
.htaccess to password protect your page.  You will have to use wikimedia
methods to secure your page instead.  I also had to add a .htaccess file to the
wiki directory with the following code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 403 /404.php

If you put any sort of error message in the file, it will show up on Google
Chrome.  The page will load, but the message will also load over it.  This does
not happen with Firefox or IE.  Since I have set this up, it has been working
properly.  It is disappointing that we cannot use .htaccess to password protect
the page, but wikimedia has a bunch of way to protect the wiki page and prevent
any random person from creating an account.

I hope this help.  Please let me know if I need to be more clear on any topic.
