What is in your .htaccess ?

Did you check Apache error.log file (if you have access to it) ?

I have written the following codes in my .htaccess file .....

AuthUserFile /new/pass/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName tabish
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

What is the problem ??
