problem with .htaccess

[Louis Cloutier]

Hi,

I want to protect a directory of my website. I try with .htacces but it does not work.

I made a .htaccess file with a and a .htpasswd file.

In the .htaccess file

AuthName "Section Name"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/pafzonec/public_html/topsite/admin/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

and in .htpasswd
theuser:password

When I try to login it said
401 Authorization Required
Invalid login credentials!

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Log on cPanel- Go to the catergory "Security" and click "Password Protected Areas" And it does it for you.
