What in .htaccess can block cron - .htaccess

Question

I'm making my own shop with Magento, and I'm not really comfortable with programation, even if I know some basics. I'm running CE 1.9.3.1 with SUPEE 9652 patch.
I set up my .htaccess with
Order allow,deny
Allow from 123.45.678.90 (example IP server Address)
Deny from all
However, the cron is still blocked by .htaccess, as when I remove (or rename) .htaccess, it's running (white page with mydomain/cron.php). My cron is set from my hosting pannel with Cronjob, but displaying a 403 error with my .htaccess.
Can someone point me what else could be blocking the cron in my .htaccess?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Finally figured it out... it was a mistake from my part.
I commented lines
AuthName "Cron auth"
AuthUserFile ../.htpasswd
AuthType basic
Require valid-user
as they deserve to protect the code with a password. Someone from my hosting provider had suggested me to uncomment them (!)
But the main matter was coming from
<Files cron.php>
as my Magento install is in a folder, I had to modify it as following:
<Files folder/cron.php>
The server logs errors helped me to understand it...
