So was basic auth ever working? Remove all the clever stuff and try to get basic auth working in the Location, ie: <Location /content/*> AuthUserFile /home/conf/htpasswords AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthType Basic Require valid-user </Location> when you get that working, put all the clever stuff back in, a piece at a time.... BTW, I'm not sure <Location /content/*> is valid syntax (never use Location). Try <Location /content> instead..
