Default htpasswd leading to 404 page.
This is the page giving me a 404 error:
http://174.120.180.34/~nielsdb/database/admin/

htaccess (in /public_html/database/admin):
Code:
AuthName "Authorisation required"
AuthUserFile "/home/nielsdb/.htpasswds/public_html/database/admin/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
passwd (in /.htpasswds/public_html/database/admin)
Code:
Niels:y6uyhUR7UFpLg
When I delete the htaccess file, the site loads just fine, hence I'm pretty sure that file is causing the 404 error.

I really have no clue why it is doing that though.

Hoping for help

sincerely,
Nielsdb

There is no "admin" directory inside "database" directory.
You have just one file inside "database" directory: aanmelding.php
So, the 404 error is normal.

The admin/ folder shows in the directory index when I delete the .htaccess file inside it...?

see if it helps if you add a line:

RewriteEngine On

in 1st line of the .htaccess file

Didn't work. Also tried deleting the .htaccess and htpasswd file and setting a new password with the "Password Protect Directories" function in cPanel, same 404 page.

I just see it now. There is a problem with htaccess:
Wrong:
Code:
AuthName "Authorisation required"
AuthUserFile "/home/nielsdb/.htpasswds/public_html/database/admin/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
corect
Code:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorisation required"
AuthUserFile "/home/nielsdb/.htpasswds/public_html/database/admin/passwd"
require valid-user
Regards,
George B.

Please use:

Code:
AuthName "Authorisation Required"
AuthUserFile "/home/nielsdb/.htpasswds/public_html/database/admin/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
ErrorDocument 401 "Authorisation Required"
Apache had changed this somewhat and specifying the 401 error document is necessary as Apache is looking for it when using .htpasswd.

This is a wrong move. Can you still restore it back inside the folder?
