Problems with htaccess protection

[adamjblakey]

Hi,

 

I have a folder on my server which i want to protect. I though everything is setup fine and does protect the folder but also protects the public_html also even though the htaccess file is in a sub folder.

 

Code:

 

AuthName "Restricted Area"

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /vhost/vhost6/s/d/o/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

require valid-user

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Adam
