.htaccess

I recently had to change hosts. Prior to the change, my .htaccess and .htpasswd system worked fine.

However, now that I am with a different host, I cannot get it to provide any authentication. (The link to the protected directory is not actually protected)

I changed the AuthUserFile so it had my new path in

AuthUserFile /home/domains/wozzers.co.uk/user/htdocs/members/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Wozzers Members Area"

<LIMIT GET POST>
require valid-user
</LIMIT>

I have confirmed with my new hosts and they say that .htaccess will work on their servers. I also chmodded the files.

Am I doing something drastically wrong?

P.S> Meant to say its runs on Apache

One thought I have had is to just drop a .htacess file which denies access to the directory.
At least that way, I will be able to determine if htaccess is being used.

Trouble is, I don;t know what the file should look like.


(I also read somewhere that the problem I am seeing could be because of a directive Satisfy ??? is being used - but to be honest it threw me a bit
