You'll have better luck if you post your configuration to the list so
people that are fluent in Apache are able to spot problems if they
exist. Here, for example, are my configuration files that work on an
earlier version of Apache:
---- /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -----
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
---- end of httpd.conf ---
---- /etc/httpd/authorized_users -----
user1:password
user2:password
..... end of authorized_users ----
----- /var/www/html/protected_directory/.htaccess -------
AuthName "Presentation"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile authorized_users
require valid-user
---- end of .htaccess ---
Double check file/directory permissions to make sure they're readable.
