Protected Directories...

[subzero06]

Hello,

I am trying to protect a directory, "/var/www/phpmyadmin" So then it creates a .htaccess and .htpasswd inside the phpmyadmin folder. But when i go there it doesn't work, it goes directly to the phpmyadmin login screen instead of the pop up box that i should get when a directory is protected. what could be the problem?

Does this help?
