    Hello, I am running Apache 2.2.3 on Windows 2000.
    I cannot seem to get Apache to read my .htaccess files. (I am trying to implement password protection). Even when I set up a very basic .htaccess file with "deny fromall", Apache still ignores it and lets everyone in.
    Can anyone spot any problems below ?
    Thanks kindly for any help. This is driving me nuts !

    Here is my .htaccess file which is located in the "tan" directory. (This is the directory I want to restrict access to. The ".htpasswd file" is in the folder "password" within the "tan" directory.)

    authUserFile "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\tan\password"
    AuthName "welcome user"
    AuthType Basic

    <Limit GET POST>
    require christan
    </Limit>

    Here is my password file: (located in tan\password)
    christan:$apr1$vd4.....$pKzzFaSCp8XuTBGz0KH2q0

    Here are the relevant parts of my httpd.conf file:

    # First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
    # features.
    #
    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Satisfy all
    </Directory>

    #
    <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/tan">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order deny,allow
    </Directory>
    #

    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride AuthConfig

    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
