>Description:
I used to work with NCSA Web server and using htaccess, I restricted access to some directories.
I installed the Apache 1.3.1 and it is ignoring the htaccess that in the directories.

The following lines in the htaccess:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /product1/www/cs/.htpasswd
AuthName "Customer Support"
require valid-user

At the same directory, there is the .htpasswd file.
What is wrong with the server ?
