Everything was working perfectly a few hours ago, but now, when I try to access one protected directory in one of my websites hosted on my dedicated server that runs Cent OS and apache, it just redirectos to the website home page.

What is strange is that I changed nothing before this starting to happen. I even renamed the directory and created another user for it, but the problem continues.

The directory htaccess looks like this:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "something here"
AuthUserFile "/home/sitename/.htpasswds/public_html/directoryname/passwd"
require valid-user

The headers are strange. I got this:

Server Response:
http://www.webiste.net/protecteddirectory

Check your .htaccess in main directory, looks like it contains some RewriteRules
