Hi Sayed, Did you check if the directory /user/lib/cgi-bin/mine is having an AllowOverride AuthConfig in the apache configuration. Example: <Directory "/user/lib/cgi-bin/mine"> AllowOverride AuthConfig </Directory> OR <Directory "/user/lib/cgi-bin/mine"> AllowOverride All </Directory> to allow all .htaccess-able directives.
