Author new version Apache(2.0.52-9) htaccess does not work

Hello all,
I have a problem with htaccess using new Apache httpd-2.0.52-9.ent on Redhat
Enterprise AS 4. No matter how i try and configure .htaccess, it never
accepts logon password with htaccess.

I had a working website previously on Fedora Core3 with htaccess, and here
is how i configured it as well on Redhat AS4
1. Created .htaccess in the /var/www/html with following:
AuthName "Secure Access"

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /var/htpasswd.users

require valid-user


2. Ran htpasswd -c /var/htpasswd.users webadmin

Whenever i try to open default website authenticaiton box comes up and it
does not accept webadmin username and password.

3. I tried adding the following in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/share>

AllowOverride AuthConfig

order allow,deny

allow from all

</Directory>


but it still having the same problem,

4. After mucking around with different apache components, i reinstalled the
Redhat system from scratch but it still gives me the same error.

I am about to jump to a conclusion it just may be a new version of apache
that has a bug perhaps?
------------------------------------------------
I have to mention digest method of authenticaiton works, BUT
It's just i really really need to implement htaccess method due to using it
with Nagios CGIs.

Please if somebody could point out a possible problem
Thanks

Check the error_log, there should be a better explanation for the
error.

There was a mysql authenticaiton error, and i noticed there was a solution
to this BUG in apache on apache website.
Needed to remove mysql mod auth component and it works perfectly now.

However this version of apache is giving me a new problem now, now PHP
scripts can read but not write to any files, with any permissions. Nothing
in the http logs for those problems indicated. hmm..
