HI

To create this password file, how should i proceed?

htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords username

Is it something with Apache httpd.conf:-/

You may have to specify the path for htpasswd ie ..apache/bin/htpasswd and then specify the path where you want the file passwords to be written rather than /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords.
Ensure thatpassword is not in the directory that you will be protecting using .htaccess.

Hope this helps
