I have worked around the above problem by putting those settings in 
/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/site3 instead of in a .htaccess file. 

But another site now needs htaccess/htpasswd password protection. I have 
tried the suggestion posted here (moving the LoadModule 
pam_external_auth_module modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so line in 
httpd.conf) but that line was commented out to start with, and if I 
uncomment it, it doesn't help. 

Any further suggestions please? 

Thanks, Julian
