apache authentication problem

    I have WordPress installed in its own folder “wordpress” in the root directory. Also in the root directory is another folder that I can access directly http://www.mysite.com/myFolder, of course, for other purposes.

    However, whenever I setup .htaccess within “myFolder” to use http authentication for that folder, WordPress calls up a error 404. I cannot access the http://www.mysite.com/myFolder any longer. It also does not bring up the login/password dialogue as expected. All I see is the WordPress’ Error 404 (theme) page.

    The .htaccess in the root folder is using the standard redirect for wordpress:

    RewriteBase /wordpress/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
    RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]

    Does anyone have a clue? What am I missing?
