<Directory /> and </Directory> and in between the lines saying <Directory "/var/www/html"> and </Directory>in both places you probably have the line "AllowOverride None". As long as this is in effect, directories below /var/www/html cannot have an .htaccess file that specifies their own access controls.
However, the solution is *not* to take those lines out (which could potentially have other unexpected consequences), but rather to add another set of lines somewhere in httpd.conf:
<Directory "/var/www/html/my-password-folder/"> AllowOverride All </Directory>where "/var/www/html/my-password-folder/" is the path to the directory you want to password-protect. (It must be the "path" on the local Linux filesystem, not the "path" as seen by the user's web browser.)
(And after making that change, of course, restart the httpd service.) This basically means that now a .htaccess file in the directory is allowed to specify its own access controls.
