.htpasswd login failure

[KK CHN <kkchn.in@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi List, 


 I added a <Location />   for     restricting access to   my  web site URL    . I used   Basic  Authentication module..


I created      #htpasswd  -c  .htpasswd  test 

   password  :  test   

 
and restarted  apache .   The  path to  AuthUserFile   is   absolutely the system path no error in   that ..

but when I tried to   access    mysites  URL  it  showing the   Authentication Dialogue  ,  I entered    username  : test 

password  : test   ,   but  its not loging in ..)

I recreated the   password  many times  with  other user  names and passwords    .. but still I can't login  ..


what may be the issue ?  how can I fix the issue ?



This is the setup ....

[root@sun /usr/local/www/testblock]# ls -al
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   2 www   www    512 Mar  5 19:13 .

-rw-r-xr-x   1 www   www     19 Mar  6 09:52 .htpasswd
[root@sun /usr/local/www/testblock]# cat .htpasswd
