title: htaccess gives 500 - Internal Server Error
body: <p>I am protecting a html file with htaccess and htpasswd. When I try accessing it, after putting  both user and password, instead of loading the "index.html" file I get a "500 - Internal Server Error"</p>
  
  <pre><code>AuthName "Restricted Area" 
  AuthType Basic 
  AuthUserFile home/folder/index.html/.htpasswd 
  AuthGroupFile /dev/null 
  require valid-user
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? 
  Maybe something with the hosting service? </p>
