.htaccess file causing 500 internal server error - .htaccess

My .htaccess file produces a 500 internal server error.
File:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Fret Rolland"
AuthUserFile /home/orbitppc/public_html/merch/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
SetEnv RUNTIME_ENVIRONMENT "production"
After some debugging I have concluded that the error is here SetEnv RUNTIME_ENVIRONMENT "production" I do not understand what I did wrong here and why is this causing an error. Any advice about what the issue might be? Thank you for all your help!

.htaccess keeps deleting a line and throwing 404 error

my website keep getting the 404 error and I don't know what's causing it but I narrowed it down to the .htaccess document.
here is the bad .htdaccess doc
AuthType ****
AuthName "******"
AuthUserFile /******/****
Require user *******
and this the working doc
AuthType ****
AuthName "******"
AuthUserFile /******/****
Require user ******
DirectoryIndex *******
I don't know what keeps deleting the "DirectoryIndex *******" line. I know it's not me.
any ideas on what it could be?

http authentication via htacces does not work on ubuntu

need a help with .htacces file to make http authentication.
I made .htacces and .htpasswd files due to tutorial on some web page, but it doesn't work.
.htacces file is very simple
AuthType Basic
AuthName "xxx"
AuthUserFile my/directory/path/
Require valid-user
Path is right, I checked it. Does anyone know what can be wrong please? Maybe there's something on ubuntu I should change or something.Thanks

Htaccess and htpasswd authentication fail

I have the following code to protect my application:
.htaccess:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Protected Area"
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
Require valid-user
.htpasswd:
username:$apr1$Am/5PMEt$JofEYwKBM8rhEnsoLndir/
The .htpasswd file is in the same directory as the .htaccess file.
It does ask me for authentication, but then gives me a 500 server error. I just used this tool, so I am wondering what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!
Try changing the .htpasswd to use the full path starting from / and using this tool instead: http://www.askapache.com/online-tools/htpasswd-generator/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /var/www/public_html/full/path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Satisfy All
Otherwise it sounds like the error is being caused by some other issue. Likely 1 of 2:
The permissions on the .htaccess or .htpasswd file are bad
There is some other error like a rewrite or something in a .htaccess or php error
You need to cause this error to happen again, and then view your /var/log/httpd/error_log file (or named something similar) which will tell you the reason for the 500 error.

htaccess file protecting but no pass prompt

Hi I have the following in a .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "restricted area"
AuthUserFile /web/clients/.htpasswd
require valid-user
this works in making the directory private, however I get a 403 error and no password/user pop up appears to even give me the chance? Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, both htaccess and htpasswd are together in the directory I want to protect.
Thanks

Directory authentication not working

This is my htaccess file in the directory /home/domain.nl/public_html/helpdesk
Require user agent8 agent9 agent10
AuthType Basic
AuthName this_protected_area
AuthUserFile /home/domain.nl/public_html/.htpasswd
But when I go to domain.nl/helpdesk I got a 324 error (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE). So whats wrong? I'm sure the htpasswd file is on the correct location.
In the error logs I see this error:
(13)Permission denied: Couldn't read /home/domain.nl/public_html/errors/.htaccess, closing connection.
Try changing your .htaccess with this:
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName this_protected_area
AuthUserFile /home/domain.nl/public_html/.htpasswd
Make sure .htaccess is enabled and if that doesn't work pls copy/paste relevant section of your error.log file in your question.
I renamed the public_html/errors/ dirrectory to errors2 and its working now. Thanks for helping!
