Ultimate URLs .htaccsess issue

[Lunar]

I installed the ultimate urls by CHEMO for my site and it all works great except when I change the .htaccess my website is no longer accessible, it says Authentication required and I have to enter a username and password.  I have changed my .htaccess back to my original for now but hopefully someone knows the problem.

I'm using v2.3.4

 

.htaccess file

 

# $Id$

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to

# the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

#   AllowOverride Options

# </Directory>

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the

# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

 

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet

# Explorer browsers

 

#<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

#  <IfDefine SSL>

#    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

#             nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

#             downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

#  </IfDefine>

#</IfModule>

 

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the

# following Apache configuration parameter

 

# AcceptPathInfo On

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

 

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

# php_value register_globals 1

Think you have some code from the ADMIN htaccess in there. So check both files again carefully and try again. You can try removing

##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - BEGIN #####
AuthType Basic
AuthName "osCommerce Online Merchant Administration Tool"
AuthUserFile /home1/ab14151/public_html/billy/.htpasswd_oscommerce
Require valid-user
##### OSCOMMERCE ADMIN PROTECTION - END #####

from the above file, and upload to your catalog root folder.

Thanks that seems to have fixed the problem.
