.htaccess problem

[knasen]

HELP!!

I created a folder where .htaccess are inside, together with a HTML file. When I execute the HTML file the password check should come up, but it doesn´t.
The path in .htaccess that should lead to .htpasswd are correct.
What could be wrong?

Here comes the .htaccess file. Please help me

AuthUserFile /usr/bin/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
AuthName "knasen X server"

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

Be sure to enable htaccess to override permissions in apache. Also check out http://www.apache.org for more info.

Look for the line "AllowOverride" in your apache.conf file and set it to all. Currently it is probably at none. That should do it.

I know this post is kind of old, but I'm having this same trouble; what does it mean to override access permissions. Is the the AuthUserFile?
