I have and .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile  '/home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/.htpasswd'  AuthName     'You Must Login To Enter The Members Only Area' AuthType  Basic AuthGroupFile /dev/null  Require   valid-user

and a .htpasswd file, I encrypt the password using a algorithm based on CryptIt by Mathminded.

I have used this for years.

Since Godaddy migrated the site to CloudLinux 8 it doesn’t work. I get the screen asking for the user name and password but it doesn’t work it continually loops asking for the username and password. <br/>

I checked the path using:<br/> <?php echo "Absolute path: ", getcwd(); ?><br/> the path is correct.  <br/>

I re-encrypted the .htpasswd file thinking is was corrupted in the migration. No help. ,<br/>I did find out that the .thaccess file cannot contain double quotes it causes a internal Server Error. <br/>

Any ideas on how I can get this to work again?
