I tried a htpasswd and htaccess file to password protect cause this is supposed to stop people and google. But now it won't even let me in with my password.

I read about it here: Ilisys Web Hosting - How do I password protect a directory on a Linux server?

my htaccess is now this:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

AuthUserFile /home/content/g/r/a/gracelandcampus/html/.htpasswd
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

and my htpasswd is:

Code:

webmaster:kG67cSW.9AldM
guest:9g70P5DPIcQx2

They are both in my root folder (since until my launch I want to go ahead and block everything). Any clue as to why it won't let me in?
