My httpd.conf file looks like:

<Directory "/path/to/mysite">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Files"
    AuthUserFile "/path/to/.htpasswd"
    Require user valid-user

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I generated my .htpasswd file using the htpasswd command: $ htpasswd ~/.htpasswd myuser

So now when I restart apache, it prompts for a username and password, however, when I type in my username and password, it just prompts again. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

My .htpasswd file looks like: myuser:$aaa1$rsU3A8zu$1xiIou2elcL3QLIPhzsaj0
