Apache2 .htaccess problem suse 10.0

Hey all,

So I am mirroring a server onto another server. I have on server 1 an LAMP. On server 2 I have setup LAMP. All is running well on server 2, except that the admin page doesn't come up. I have tried the same config as server 1 and it doesn't work for some reason. This is what I have for the httpd.conf file.

Code:

# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
    AuthType basic
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from All
</Directory>

# use .htaccess files for overriding,
AccessFileName .htaccess
# and never show them
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Files>

Is there a module that I have forgotten about to load?

oh and

Code:

/srv/www/htdocs/admin # cat .htaccess
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/htdocs/admin/.htpasswd
AuthName "METLIN Administrator space"
AuthType Basic

this is my .htaccess file!
Thank you so much for any help given, I'm lost on this one.

When you say the page is not coming up, does that mean that you're getting a 404, or is it a Forbidden, or Internal Server Error? What's the error message?

Good point knew I forgot something.
On a windows maching I just get nothing, the "The page cannot be displayed"
on Linux I get "The connection was refused when attempting to contact dios"
and I checked that I have an index page in the admin folder!
