php - .htaccess password protected folder goes to 404 page -


i've stumbled upon strange issue. lets have folder in main domain directory: /myfolder

when try access index of files in folder go to: myurl.com/myfolder , works without problems. when put .htaccess password protection in folder like:

authuserfile /home/mywebsite/.htpasssomerandomname authtype basic authname "authentication required" require valid-user 

suddenly instead of asking me password when try access myurl.com/myfolder 404 wordpress template page. below .htaccess in main wordpress folder.

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c> rewriteengine on rewritebase / rewriterule ^index\.php$ - [l] rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewriterule . /index.php [l] </ifmodule> 

any ideas might problem?

i don't understand why seems adding below line .htaccess inside protected folder fixed issue:

errordocument 401 "authorisation required" 

i've found fix online without explanation why works way. can add explanation? feels shouldn't that.
