I have an HTACCESS as follows:

AuthUserFile /home/nasht00/.htmydomain
AuthName "EnterPassword"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

When I try it, the password pop-up appears. Whatever I enter in it, I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

My password file is under /home/nasht00/.htmydomain . Its owner is nasht00:www-data (nasht00 is my user, www-data is the group that apache2 belongs to). File permissions on that file is 775.

What am I missing?

If I try without the htaccess it works fine of course.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 with apache2.
