I have uploaded version 1.0.1 to my server and all of the features of Fileman work fine, except for the password protection of directories.

In other words, fileman creates all of the necessary .htaccess file and saves the password to the pass directory, but when I try to enter the directory I have just protected, it lets me in without having to give the username and password.

The .htaccess file is there, but it does seem to what to authenticate the user, as seen below (I just have left out the actual path):

AuthUserFile /thepathofmydirectoryhere/images.pass
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName 'Protected Area'
AuthType Basic

<limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</limit>


Any help is appreciated.

Make sure AllowOverride is "on" for your domain otherwise htaccess won't work. Also mod_auth.so needs to be loaded/compiled into apache. It is more likely to be the first problem though.
