I am having problems protecting a directory on my site using .htpasswd. It throws me a 401 Authorization Required even when I enter the correct password three times. Is this a known problem, or is there a porblem with my config?

.htaccess:

CODE

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
AuthUserFile /admin/.htpasswd
Require user admin

.htpasswd

CODE

admin:---password scrawled up by a .htpasswd generator---

Try an absolute path for 'AuthUserFile'.

If my domain were 'mydomain.vndv.com':

CODE

AuthUserFile /www/vndv/m/y/d/mydomain/htdocs/admin/.htpasswd
