More info please if you can. Are you getting a blank screen in w3-auth or
an auth error when accessing a w3-auth protected page? Is the username
you specified in the correct namespace for the area that's under w3-auth
protection? Did your apache setup pass the auth test script included in
the misc directory of the mSQL distribution?

If it's the blank w3-auth problem, that's solved in the 2.0.9
distribution.
