problem with htaccess

[scialom]

Hi,

I have a directory under htdocs called stat that I try to protect. In this dir I put 2 files.
The first us .htaccess:

AuthName "stat"
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthUserFile /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/tony/stat/.htpasswd
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

The second is .htpasswd that contain the users and password.

But it dosent work. Why?

How did you create the htpasswd file? Also you might need to remove the AuthGroupFile line depending on your system.
