It sounds like you're putting the wrong file in the web site folder.
Your setup should look something like below:
Regards, Mike Klinke
---------------------------
---- /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -----
<Directory "/var/www/html/protected_directory">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
---- end of httpd.conf ---
---- /etc/httpd/authorized_users (build with htpasswd)
user1:password
user2:password
----- end of authorized_users ----
----- /var/www/html/protected_directory/.htaccess -------
AuthName "Presentation"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile authorized_users
require valid-user
---- end of .htaccess ---
Double check all file/directory permissions to make sure they're
readable.
