my guess would be that there's a problem with the contents of .htpasswd itself, what did you use to generate the encrypted password(s)? |

As a test, try using plain text passwords and see if that works, if it doesnt its must be to do with the path to the password file rather than the file itself |

i have tried that and it still isnt working so iv got to look for another host that supports it. i dont mind paying a SMALL fee but the site has to accept SOLO payments |
