How to start Server user authentication in PHP and Apache?

Question

I had a production server which used to authenticate user before granting access. I setup a new machine and copied files from the old server. Now, I can access pages fine, but it does not ask for username and password. When I checked the value of $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] is returns nothing.

Is a way to activate it on the server or I missed any file while copying it from old server ?

Did you make sure to copy hidden files as well? – John Gardeniers May 02 '12 at 21:41 — John Gardeniers, May 02 '12 at 21:41

So, where is the list of user names and passwords? is it a flat file, in a database? you can't implement something you cant find.

The list of username and password are stored in DB. – vinny May 02 '12 at 20:42
I noticed this is tagged .htaccess have you enabled mod_auth_mysql? (http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/) What does your .htaccess file look like? – foocorpluser May 02 '12 at 20:53
