Did you use the proper program to create the password file?

What does the error log say?

Nope. You need to look at the error log (usually called error_log), not at
the error message returned to the browser.

I used htpasswd to create the file, so I believe yes.
The error page is:
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document
requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password),
or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
Thanks so far!
