    If your server is running Apache 2.4 the syntax is a bit different. For example, this:

    Order deny,allow Deny from All Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxy

    Might need to be written as this, instead:

    Require host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Require host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxy

    There are more examples here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

    I ran into problems with the old syntax when setting up .htaccess passwords on a Digital Ocean server running Apache 2.4. Hope this helps someone!
