HTTP Auth (.htpasswd) Not Working In CGI-BIN
 

Hi,
I am trying to HTTP Auth protect a directory in my cgi-bin directory. I have a .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile /var/www/cgi-bin/secure/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName "uTutorial Console"

AuthType Basic



<Limit GET POST>

require user valid-user

</Limit>

When I put this .htaccess file in an ordinary directory e.g. /var/www/html/site/secure/.htaccess it works fine and asks for the username and password however when I put it in my secure CGI directory (/var/www/cgi-bin/secure/) it doesn't ask for user/pass just shows the script. Is this a common problem or is it something to do with DIR permisions?
