Hi

I want to use .htaccess for a dir which path looks like

~somename/.public_http/dir

and I'd like to use the .htaccess for the last one (dir)

I use for this dir (inside) and have appropriate .htpasswd

AuthUserFile /usr/home/somename/.public_html/dir/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "My Web Site"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

but it doesn't work.

The same is if I change first line like this
AuthUserFile /usr/home/somename/.htpasswd

Please point where I am wrong? thank you

Ivo
