    I want to apply htaccess password protection to one of my my site http://manjotone.freehostia.com .
    When I go to above url it demands a username/password. Even if I fill correct username/password (test/test) it still does not show the site and the login box appears each time whether I fill correct or wrong username/password. How can I resolve this issue?
    The content of htaccess file is
    AuthName "Restricted Area"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /home/www/manjotone.freehostia.com/.htpasswd
    AuthGroupFile /dev/null
    require valid-user

    And the content of htpasswd file is
    test:VKDgrEqD7TJBM

    I simply upload these files through FTP where my site exists .please suggest me what should I do to overcome this issue.

    AuthUserFile path_to_password_file
    AuthGroupFile /dev/null
    AuthName RESTRICTED
    AuthType Basic

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

    also check that the location of the .htpasswd file is correct and its readable (permissions 644)
