Protect a webpage director by .htaccess

[Canedje]

I try to protect a web page by using .htaccess.
I did make a file .htaccess in the protected directory with the next code:

Code: Select all

AuthUserFile /var/www/thermostaat/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthType Basic

<limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</limit>

I di also make an file .htpasswd with an encrypted password.
I did that by using an external website.

The webpage at this directory is still not protected by a password.
What am I doing wrong?
