htaccess login authentication

I'm working this proj. on localhost
and my localhost path is :
I:\xampp\htdocs\my_proj

I'm add this code in .htaccess file
AuthName “Restricted Area”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /my_proj/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

and add this code in .htpasswd file
admin:$apr1$gs0j3ctm$NICQOA7ANxOajPQcRVZA3.

when i run my site on localhost then show login popup
but after login show error :
//Server error!
//The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either //the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

//If you think this is a server error, please contact the .

//Error 500


please help me.................

 

Try this:

AuthName “Restricted Area”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile I:/xampp/htdocs/my_proj/.htpasswd
require valid-user

Code (markup):

without AuthGroupFile

 

Hi there,

This is because you need to specify the full path on the disk for AuthUserFile, so for example if you have I:/xampp/htdocs/my_proj/ then you will have :

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile I:/xampp/htdocs/my_proj/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

Code (markup):

 

thanks for reply...............
