I need to control access to all html pages and the cgi scripts that load them at a given path within a joomla 3.4 installation. My subdirectory .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthName "EnterPassword"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

In earlier versions of joomla 3.x, the subdirectory .htaccess file pointed to the .htpasswd file and Apache requested user authentication. But with joomla 3.4 this no longer works: Apache returns a file-not-found error instead. I have not found a workable solution in stackoverflow or elsewhere.

The problem was probably a domain redirect where I should have used a redirect for the home page exclusively. – user2962377 Mar 28 '15 at 01:16
I moved the non-joomla files to a separate directory - easier to migrate and manage. – user2962377 Mar 28 '15 at 01:17
