.htaccess & .htpasswd problems with win32

hi everyone,
    i use apache 1.3.20 on win32xp, it works just fine till i want to try the .htaccess:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "By Invitation Only"
AuthUserFile htpasswd.txt
Require viper

and the htpasswd.txt is a plain txt of viper:viper
now, when i access the page, it gives me the realm of "By Invitation Only", then i type viper in the username and viper in the password field, after three tirals, it gives me the message of bad passwords and other things that is impossible in my case.
any help? wll be appreciated.

Conditional Logging
There are times when it is convenient to exclude certain entries from the access logs based on characteristics of the client request. This is easily accomplished with the help of environment variables. First, an environment variable must be set to indicate that the request meets certain conditions. This is usually accomplished with SetEnvIf. Then the env= clause of the CustomLog directive is used to include or exclude requests where the environment variable is set. Some examples:

  # Mark requests from the loop-back interface
  SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "127\.0\.0\.1" dontlog
  # Mark requests for the robots.txt file
  SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/robots\.txt$" dontlog
  # Log what remains
  CustomLog logs/access_log common env=!dontlog 
This text was taken from http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/logs.html#conditional
I hope it helps

Well, two of those three links contain examples that do almost exactly
what you want.  If you can't figure them out, then why don't you start by
showing us what your best effort is, and what happens when you try to
implement it.  Just telling us you don't understand the docs doesn't help
anyone.

Hello:

How do I prevent apache from logging both access to files with any
extension I want (*.gif, *.jpg, *.mp3, etc.)  and also that stupid
nimda / code red  stuff? I had it working but accidentally I wrote over
that particular httpd.conf file. Please, don't send me to:

> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog
> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/logs.html#conditional
> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/env.html#examples

because last time I tried to figure that out, and I just got a big headache.

I'm using Apache on Windows.

I tried 3 or 4 GUIs for Apache so far. None gives the option of filtering
logged stuff by
their extension (.gif, .wav, etc). If they can build a GUI, that'd be
a pice of cake for them. Anyway....thanks in advance.

If you want to validate user viper you have to state

Require user viper 

Instead of only 

Require viper

you should create htpasswd.txt using htpasswd utility shipped with 
apache.
