AuthUserFile "/.htpasswds"
AuthName "Enter Password"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user

admin:password

hi ye i had a look in www folder and got the error_log any way it doesnt have any errors for today only some old php errors from last week.
i have used AuthUserFile "../../.htpasswds/.htpassw
i have used AuthUserFile "../../.htpasswds/.htpassw
What is the full path and file name of the file that contains the following?
Also, you're getting the server error *after* you log in? So you are prompted for username/pass and supply it and then get the error?
admin:passwordAlso, you're getting the server error *after* you log in? So you are prompted for username/pass and supply it and then get the error?

yes it allows me to log in and then after submit it does the error.
the file that has admin:password inside it is called .htpasswd and i have put it in the ../../.htpasswds folder. as show on the file tree screen shot
i have also tested with the .htpasswd in the same folder as the one i want to secure and set the link to "../../public_html/admin/.
i have also used a program called Htpasswd Generator PRO to create the files for me but i get the same error so its must be the link or to do with my hosting?

Inside your login CGI script, it should be doing a redirect to the 'logged-in' page's URL. It is acting as if that redirect URL is invalid.

hi after talking to hosting they say my link in the htaccess was bad here is what i have now
AuthName "log in"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/home/christop/public_htm
Require valid-user
but now it just reloads the page and asks for the password 3 times then says Authorization Required. This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested.
i am using the user and pass that i have in the .htpasswd file so not sure why it doent just log in ?
the .htpasswd looks like this:
admin:admin
this is the url of my secured area http://christophersowerby.com/admin
my hosts client area is down so i cant ask more about this over there :P

AuthUserFile "../../.htpasswds/.htpassw
(if the file is called .htpasswd within the .htpasswds directory)
