Why in the / directory, why not /home/sites/site# ?

> htpasswd -c users graham

You have user 'graham' here, but require user 'bill'
Try replacing the require bill line with require valid-user

You may also need to turn PAM off (AuthPAM_Enabled off)

No.

I have place my .htaccess below for comparison.

AuthPAM_Enabled off
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site#/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Authorized Users Only!"
AuthType Basic
order allow,deny
allow from all

<Limit GET>
require user MyUser
</Limit>


Hope this helps,
