make sure the path to .htapasswd is correct. to avoid confusion use absolute path. akso, have you restricted the page u r trying to access to a perticular group / user and using the other username/password combo.
the username and password are case sensitive.
r u sure u generated the correct password. of use the 4WH .htpasswd generator. |

the AuthUserFile line is the problem, what you've got there is telling the server to look at the root of the filesystem for the file - where is .htpasswd on the filesystem, or in relation to .htaccess? |

in that case you can probably just put:
Code: | AuthUserFile .htpasswd |
or, failing that:
Code: | AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd |

most free services disable things like .htaccess...usually if you want any useful features you have to pay |

I happen to work for one (ValcatoHosting.com), also WebHostingTalk is a good place to go if you want to get a few good offers.
just out of interest, where are you hosted now? |

hmm...on their home page they list full support for .htaccess, so you shouldn't need to switch to someone else. what exactly happens when you visit the password protected directory? |
