.htaccess question protect my php test environment

I have to apologies about this posting in advance so please don't flame me too bad for being off topic. Question: I want to create an .htaccess file to protect my files I did the passwrd -c /directory/file frank the set a password and then confirmed the password I created a .htaccess file with vi and put this in it. AuthName "restricted stuff" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /var/password/frank require valid-user then in the redhat http server utitily under server settings I went tot he virtual directory section and created a new virtual dir called virtual 0 and check marked the box at the bottom for .htaccess protection. I restart the server and then go to another computer and put in the URL and no password box comes up. :( __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
