Hi I have F2-210 TOS 4.1.24

I am trying to set up password protection for the web server.
I have added .htaccess and .htpassword to the web root folder.

The .htaccess file looks like this:

AuthName "Prompt"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/base/web/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

The password prompt does appear but the password/user is not recognised. If there any way to access the apache logs to try and see what is going on?
I suspect the AuthUserFile path may be wrong but this was the DOCUMENT_ROOT given by phpInfo.

Many thanks
Matt
