If there's another AllowOverride at a higher level, it could still be reading .htaccess files. Chcek the whole config and, to be sure, put "AllowOverride None" at server level to switch off all .htaccess file-reading. > I have also checked in the > /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/BackupPC for any .htaccess files. > The folder doesn't have any .htaccess files. Remember that files beginning with a dot don't show up unless you do "ls -a" - did you check that? > But still the authentication > dialog doesn't appear and the browser directly displays the protected > page. You *are* restarting apache after each config change, aren't you? Check also it's not a caching issue - kill and restart the browser before testing again. BTW, you know you will only get prompted *once* for a password? Ie: - first access: prompted for password - enter PW: read page - go to another page... - come back: get straight in... So don't expect a PW prompt *every* time you hit the page...
