I have .htaccess and .htpasswd files in the directory that has png files that I want to protect.

.htaccess

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Co to za nielegalne grzebanie w plikach, juz dzwonie na milicje."
  AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd
  Require valid-user

.htpasswd

test:$apr1$hp25fckm$QSSnnAWn6b5lWDScZ7h7t0

and I don't know why it's not working?

I am trying to password protect a web directory with apache. I have the site set up like this:

D:/
   webapp/
      lib/
         .htpasswd
   document_root/
      admin/
         index.php
         .htaccess

The .htaccess has: 

AuthName "Authorization Required" 
AuthType Basic 
AuthUserFile D:\webapp\lib\.htpasswd
require valid-user

And the .htpasswd has:

user:passworddigest

When I try to access localhost/index.php in the browser I get a 500 error. The apache error log has this:

["date"] [crit] [client "ip"] configuration error:  couldn't check user.  Check your authn provider!: /admin/

I have googled but I can't figure out what this error means in the context of my server. Anyone know what's up? Also, it would solve my problem if someone had a simple method of using apache for authenticating a web directory on a windows server.

I'm making a website for a client, and I want to make a password protected directory. The problem is my account type only allows FTP, so is there any way to create the .htaccess and .htpasswd files locally on my computer so I can upload them via FTP?

UPDATE:

I made the files on the site @radius mentioned, and I uploaded and renamed them, but now I'm getting the following message:

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request"

I have this in my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.myweb.com/phpmyadmin$1 [R,L]

AuthUserFile /var/www/myweb/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Sovereign Databases"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

But everytime I go to http://www.myweb.com/phpmyadmin, the .htpasswd prompts me for a credentials BEFORE i'm redirected to https://www.myweb.com/phpmyadmin. After I type in my username and password, I get redirected to https://www.myweb.com/phpmyadmin. The problem is that I don't want anyone to submit their username and password unencrypted via http.

How do I force people to login via the https version even if they typed in the http version?
