The syntax for auth stuff changed between Apache 2.0 and 2.2 (which is
used in CentOS 5). In particular, you'll need a AuthBasicProvider

Thans Paul,
That's new news to me :)
For the OP, I believe it would be:
<Location /secure>
AuthType basic
AuthName "private area"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthDBMType file
AuthDBMUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>
Thanks,
OK I tried that and it still would not work, I am not prompted for
a username or password on the site I want to protect.
Do I also need to add a new entry in httpd.conf or load a new apache
module?
Are you sure your Location entry matched the URL path you use to reach
it, not the path to the directory? You do need to restart httpd after
putting this into httpd.conf.
