I’m not sure this is where I’m supposed to post this, but I’m having trouble with htaccess. I made my files and uploaded them to my directory but it’s not working.  
Here is my htaccess file:  
AuthUserFile /restricted/.htpasswd  
AuthName bethany\_ridge  
AuthType Basic  
\<Limit GET\>  
require valid-user  
\</Limit\>

And this my htpasswd file:  
user:password

When you type in the name and password the box disappears then comes back. It doesn’t take you to the page.

I appreciate any help someone can offer
