i use my home computer right now to test my web file before i publish them..
i was working on a document and i needed an .htaccess file to lock it up. so i go to macupdate and download this:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7598
it makes .htaccess files easy instead of my messing with it.
i created a user access file for it and sent it to the directory i wanted and had it create the .htaccess file with the permissions...
now when i browse to it though localhost/Hidden/ it still lets me in and i can go though my files there without having to type in the user and pass stuff...
i opended my httpd.conf and looked at the settings
i dont think it is telling it to use .htaccess as a access override
heres the parts i think is setting up .htaccess not sure if there right
i havnt changed them so i dont know why they are not working...

Code:
#
# Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
#
# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
#
AllowOverride AuthConfig
#
# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
# for access control information.
#
AccessFileName .htaccess
Edit: ps i just restarted my web server and it is frozen... i cant hit any buttons. how do i stop it using terminal??? i was using the system prefs sharing to start/stop it
anything in my http.conf that says AllowOverride has All after it
