You should never put the .htpasswd file in public_html!!! – kingtut007 Mar 07 '16 at 20:04 — kingtut007, Mar 07 '16 at 20:04

Put the following code in .htaccess in public_html

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

Then create a .htpasswd, but put it OUTSIDE public_html

So the /path/to/.htpasswd is pointing to that location

It's quite possible I'm thinking too simple here, but shouldn't the code:

AuthUserFile /home1/thetimh6/public_html/htpasswd

be:

AuthUserFile /home1/thetimh6/public_html/.htpasswd
