http authentication via htacces does not work on ubuntu - .htaccess

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 directory protection not working in nginx

I try to protect my dev web project a bit and add directory protection. ("Verzeichnisschutz" in german).
This is my .htaccess file (project/.htaccess)
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please enter the valid auth details"
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
Require valid-user
This is my .htpasswd file (project/.htpasswd)
test:$apr1$3RWv80vU$MJFZn3DHhrB8yPNO6/TDV.
But I can still enter the website without having to enter any credentials.
I tried different browsers and inspector/private mode.
What is wrong?

Now I know why it does not work.
It is because my project runs on a nginx server and .htaccess does only work with apache.

.htaccess/.htpasswd Protection for file doesn't work

I have a problem for which I have not yet found any solution.
I want to make a file a accessible via .htaccess/.htpasswd. So I created this file and put it into a subfolder at my we bapplication:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Username"
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
require valid-user
The access protection for the subfolder works, but not for the file in this.
I'm looking forward for any hint or help.
Thx!

HTTP Basic Auth Upon Image View (.htaccess)

I saw this and I'd love to know how to recreate it. Unfortunately, I don't know .htaccess.
Upon viewing an image, there was an HTTP Basic Auth style dialog that asked to enter some sort of authentication (albeit nothing actually submitted anywhere).
I'm sorry for the skid question, but I'd really love some insight as to how this can be done using .htaccess or .htpasswd.
Thanks.

In your apache site conf, add something like:
Alias /image /path/to/img
<Directory "/path/to/img">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "LoginImage"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
Then, create the .htpasswd file with:
htpasswd -c .htpasswd someusername
and you'll be prompted to create a password.

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.

.htpasswd under IIS - does it work?

I'm trying to password protect a directory on a server that's running IIS.
I've put the following in the .htaccess file in that directory -
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user
I've tried a whole bunch of different paths and although it's asking for a username and password it won't take it. I've tried using the path provided by _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] but that's no help either.
Is this a problem with my path, or does IIS just not support .htpasswd?

Helicon Ape (http://www.helicontech.com/ape naturally supports .htpasswd file with all these authentication options you’ve mentioned. The software also implements a bunch of other Apache-like features. As regarding authentication, you may also be interesting in these articles: http://helicontech.blogspot.com/search/label/mod_auth
Thank you.

IIS does not support .htpasswd or .htaccess.

Natively IIS does not support the htpasswd.
You can get IISPassword for IIS from here if you really want to use
similar files under IIS.
