My understanding is that the cause is probably that in your
httpd.conf file, in between the lines saying
<Directory />
and
</Directory>
and in between the lines saying
<Directory "/var/www/html">
and
</Directory>
in both places you probably have the line "AllowOverride None". As
long as this is in effect, directories below /var/www/html cannot
have an .htaccess file that specifies their own access controls.
However, the solution is *not* to take those lines out (which could
potentially have other unexpected consequences), but rather to add
another set of lines somewhere in httpd.conf:
<Directory "/var/www/html/my-password-folder/">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
where "/var/www/html/my-password-folder/" is the path to the
directory you want to password-protect. (It must be the "path" on
the local Linux filesystem, not the "path" as seen by the user's web
browser.)
(And after making that change, of course, restart the httpd
service.) This basically means that now a .htaccess file in the
directory is allowed to specify its own access controls.

Hi,
I have problems with htaccess and server side inludes.
If I try a secure websitefolder with a .htaccess file and
a .htpasswd file. There will not ask for a user/passwd to loging in.
It just shows me de folder not secured.
I have this problem also on an other linux computer.
It was not possible to make it function properly with htaccess, ssi and
with the include mod by command a2enmod.
Maybe the updates are wrong???
Please help me, thanks !
