Apache recommends putting all the config stuff that would go in .htaccess in httpd.conf if you are the admin. I believe that htaccess stuff is the same for 1.3.x and 2.x, so here is what I have on a 2.x system: <Directory /usr/local/www/data/patches> AuthType Basic AuthName "Clan Files" AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/passwords Require user fishhead </Directory> Note: my password file is not in a web publishable area, doesn't need to be and was created from the link above. So try using this method and doing a apachectl restart and see if it fixes it for you. -Derrickhelp
