OK, starting from scratch this morning,<BR>
here is the .htaccess file I am using which is inside of the<BR>
/home/LinuxAccountName/www directory:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<Directory "/home/LinuxAccountName/www"><BR>Options None<BR>AuthName "UserNameIUsedToCreatePasswordWith"<BR>AuthType Basic<BR>AuthUserFile /home/LinuxAccountName/.htpasswd<BR>Require valid-user<BR></Directory><BR><BR>
www above refers to the root or web directory - the lowest or first or base<BR>
directory that is web accessable.<BR><BR>
And, this is the error I am getting from my httpd error log for this domain:<BR>
<BR>
[Sun Apr 20 07:47:40 2008] [alert] [client 75.46.110.14] /home/LinuxAccountName/.htaccess: <Directory not allowed here<BR>
<BR>
When I point my web browser to the domain name that the above .htaccess is <BR>
written for, I get the below error in my web browser:<BR>
<BR>
<H1>Internal Server Error</H1>
