[ale] Apache .htaccess

[Patrick]

I was trying to set up a password protected area on my site. I tried putting
the .htaccess in the password protected folder. But it gave the following
error in my error log
"[Sun Jun 18 16:34:50 2000] [alert] [client 209.187.165.235]
/home/quadserv/members/.htaccess: AuthUserFile not allowed here"

I then tried putting the file in the home directory with the <Directory
/home/quadserv/members/>. It gave the error
"[Sun Jun 18 16:40:14 2000] [alert] [client 209.187.165.235]
/home/quadserv/.htaccess: <Directory not allowed here"


I think my server is misconfigured to have .htaccess files in any directory.
I am using redhat-6.1 and apache 1.3.9

Any help would be appreciated.
Patrick
