i tried using the .htaccess to protect a folder but each time i tried to login through the browser, it displays this *****Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache/2.4.33 (Win32) PHP/5.6.35 Server at localhost Port 80 ****

i dont know if the problem is from my httpd conf in apache

This is my .htaccess *** AuthUserFile "c:/wamp/www/site/site/.htwebsite" AuthName "Admin only" AuthType Basic

require valid-user

.htwebsite

admin:$apr1$CpeOKwE0$nbfV5DOxvjvBGyEktBbdgr
