I have tried to password protect a single file using .htaccess. But when accessing the file the browser just redirects to the home page of the website. I have my .htpasswd on my webroot. My .htaccess file is given below

    <FilesMatch "result.php">
    AuthName "Member Only"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /home/username/.htpasswd
    require valid-user
    </FilesMatch>

I want to protect the file result.php. I have replaced username with my exact cpanel username. Someone please help

.htaccess passwords cpanel .htpasswd
