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?

I'm trying to temporarily password protect my Heorku app with the .htaccess and .htpasswrd files in the root of the app.
I'm getting a 'Internal Server Error' with the following codes and can't figure out where I'm going wrong
.htaccess
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
Require valid-user
.htpasswrd (MD5 encrypted)
rob:$apr1$MRsSwhFN$buG0YTSOezeY8YJ32LXnT1
Looks like your path is off.
As of July 2016, some subtle changes are necessary on heroku-php-apache2. Please note that the path to the .htpasswd file no longer contains the www directory and that the .htpasswd file should be in the webroot as well.
Create an .htaccess file in the webroot:
AuthUserFile /app/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
Require valid-user
Create a .htpasswd file, also in the webroot:
htpasswd -c .htpasswd [username]
Commit local changes. Deploy to Heroku.

i'm trying to apply a site password to the root directory of my site:
www.example.com
I have my .htpasswd file in the same directory as the .htaccess file (public_html) and my .htaccess file has the following code:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "This Area is Password Protected"
AuthUserFile /public_html/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
With this code it prompts for credentials however when I enter the correct credentials it takes me to a server error page. Where have I gone wrong here?
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.
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
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!
