.htaccess authentication 500 error

Question

I get a 500 error with the below in my .htacess file I cannot figure out why. I checked the path with <?php echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]; ?> -- it's /home/tedctcou/public_html/filename

Can anyone see a reason why that doesn't work? I hreally need help here... Many thanks!

AuthUserFile /home/tedctcou/public_html/.pswrd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Information for committee and board members. Please enter your login details to access this information."

<Files "staff.php">
    Require valid-user
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all

    Allow from 216.70.112.113
    Satisfy Any
</Files>

Answer 1

Test this :

<FilesMatch "staff.php">
        Require valid-user
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        AuthUserFile /home/tedctcou/.pswrd
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Information for committee and board members. Please enter your login details to access this information."
        Allow from 216.70.112.113
        Satisfy Any
    </FilesMatch>

Move your .pswrd !!
