 That is, if memory serves.

Make sure you create your passwd file before sourcing it in your config.
 Apache won't be happy on restart if you don't.

htpasswd -c /path/to/passwd/file <username>


The "-c" creates it.  After that, you shouldn't need to use it any more.
 See the man page for more info.

Also, "AllowOverride All" will also allow override of security from an
.htpasswd file.  Be careful of that.
