Try this:

Allow .htaccess on all sites

        pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf/
        Add these lines to the end of httpd.conf

        # Allow .htaccess on all sites Added by PDC
         <Directory "/home/.sites/*/*/web">
         AllowOverride All
         </Directory>

	Hi
	
	We are trying to secure a directory on our BQ site
	
	I have put a .htaccess file in the directory with the following
	
	AuthName " Archive"
	AuthType Basic
	/home/sites/ www.site-name/users/.htpasswd
<http://www.site-name/users/.htpasswd> 
	Require valid-user
	
	And created the password file, 
	
	How ever when trying to access the directory we get
	
	Internal server Error
	The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable
	to complete your request. Your administrator may not have enabled
CGI access
	for this directory. 
	
	Any ideas
	
	Thanks
