[users@httpd] Htaccess won't work

[David Daugherty <da...@datasphereweb.com>]

I've used .htaccess files in the past with no problems. I'm running Apache
ver 2.0.48 and I've added the access protection into the httpd.conf. I've
attached this file.

The password protection is not working at all. The password dialog never
comes up. It just goes straight to the link I'm trying to protect
http://www.ad-venturespublishing.com/sales/contract.pdf. I've been through
all of the HowTo's I can find and read some FAQs thinking I've got to be
missing something. The .htpasswd file does exist at the location specified
and is 755 for permissions.

Is there anything I'm missing here? Any logs I can look for to find out
where this is failing?

This is running on a FreeBSD 4-9 Stable kernel.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
