Do you have a configuration similar to this in httpd.conf:
<Directory /www/domain.com/authcookiedbi>
AuthType Apache2::AuthCookieDBI
AuthName WhatEver
PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthCookieDBI->authenticate
PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::AuthCookieDBI->authorize
require valid-user
# or you can require users:
require user jacob
# You can optionally require groups.
require group system
</Directory>
