htaccess password won't work...

Hi,

I getting a bit insane of the .htaccess stuff... I just trying out how
to set a password to a directory on my windows notebook. Now I've set
all files in the root. The request for a password is fine but it won't
accept mine... In all the examples on the internet I don't see the
require user stuff but at my configuration it won't work without.

Thanks in advance, Maarten

..htaccess like this:
AuthUserFile /.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /ht.group
AuthName "realm"
AuthType Basic
require user muffin

..htpasswd is just there and acreated with the htpasswd.exe

ht.group
muffin: maarten

Check in the apache's error_log file. It should tell you exactly
what's the error.
