Having created a username & password for my site...

[#1]

I followed Bob Pullen's advice here http://community.plus.net/library/tools/how-to-password-protect-your-website/
but now when I attempt to access any of the pages of the site in this folder I get error message Not found-404.
I wonder if you can kindly suggest what I have done wrong?

[#2]

I would also mention that I put all of the pages I wished to protect in a new folder called 'memfile' and then put the htaccess and htpasswd files in the same folder then renamed them.

[#3]

have you made sure of the caps etc as "From Me to You" is not the same as"from me to you"

[#4]

Hello, I've not used caps anywhere. Not sure whether the htaccess and htpasswd files go in the folder, in any order, or whether I've done something else incorrectly.

I an an antique Web user, but think that both should be in the Web root, I only have htdocs and that is in root
