I seem to be having trouble with my wordpress blog and directorys that are passworded via cpanel (Basically it just creates a .htaccess and .htpassword)
My blog is at the sites root, if i create a directory /files for instance and use no protection it works fine, if I visit the url I get the /files dir as expected.
If I go into cpanel and set the options to use a password on /files (it just creates a .htaccess in the folder and a .htpasswrd file in /home/username/.htpasswd/dirname/passwd then instead of the expected password prompt when visitnig the /files dir i'd get a 404 page from wordpress instead.
I have the WP-supercache and "all in one SEO pack" loaded on wordpress 2.82 if that helps diagnose....
I assume it's possibly some kind of rewrite rule messing with something somewhere so that it doesn't correctly find the dir once it's been protected with a .htaccess and .htpasswd?
Any assistance on how to resolve however would be much appreciated.
