The syntax for auth stuff changed between Apache 2.0 and 2.2 (which is used in CentOS 5). In particular, you'll need a AuthBasicProvider declaration:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider
Thans Paul, That's new news to me :)
For the OP, I believe it would be: <Location /secure> AuthType basic AuthName "private area" AuthBasicProvider file AuthDBMType file AuthDBMUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd Require valid-user
</Location>
Thanks,
OK I tried that and it still would not work, I am not prompted for a username or password on the site I want to protect.
Do I also need to add a new entry in httpd.conf or load a new apache module?
