Hello, John.
The problem might be that you have the mod_auth_mysql module enabled.
Please have a look at your '/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log' file. If you find
an error like the following:
'MySQL ERROR: Table 'test.user_info' doesn't exist'
Then it means that the mod_auth_mysql module is enabled, making Apache to
look for the permissions in the MySQL database, and completely forgetting
the .htaccess and .htpasswd files.
In this case, just remove the module like this:
yum remove mod_auth_mysql
or
rpm -e mod_auth_mysql
And then restart apache: 'service httpd restart'
Then it should work. This is a strange behaviour I know, but it doesn't
bother anybody, appart of those using that function unfortunately...
Else, please report the error that you receive in your
/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log' file.
Regards,
Daniel
