Hi.
This might be a bit basic as I am sure I had this working but now it doesn't!
I have a folder called "private" in which I have an index page and several other pages for members to read.
I secured the index page with WAM and set up the member's details etc.. The "login" works fine and I get the index page but when I try to access the other pages in the folder I get a "500 Server Error"
I have two areas on my website which have this sort of access but with different members and both allow access to the index page but will go no further. I've checked the .htaccess files and the password file and all seems OK with them.
If I move the index out of the folder (or the other pages) it will work I guess but
a) it is frustrating not knowing why this has happened and
b) It means a lot of work updating the links to the other pages.
Is it coincidence that my ISP updated the Apache software on the same day this my site failed?
Does anyone have a simple work around to make this work

Did you try protecting the private directory instead?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
