I'm trying to password protect public_html on one of my domains and get an internal server error. Apache log says AH01620: Could not open password file: /home/xxxxxxxxxxx/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd The file is actually there with 0755 permissions. The odd thiong is, if I try this on a different domain it works. Any ideas please ?

  The file should have 644 perms in most cases /home/$user/.htpasswds/public_html
  should be 755 /home/$user/.htpasswds/
  should be 750 Ownership on /home/$user/.htpasswd
  should be user:nobody For /home/$user/.htpasswd/public_html/
  it should be user:user and for /home/$user/.htpasswd/public_html/passwd
  it should be user:user can you confirm that the permissions/ownership are the same?

  It was an ownership issue. Thanks
