Wordpress authentication issue

I am having problem with an htaccess authentification.

I have a wordpress website and would like to restrict access on it. In the root folder, i have added an htaccess and a htpasswd.

Htaccess codes:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /home/anglolabs/webapps/financial/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

And the htpasswd is as such:

admin:$apr1$wcax9ykl$uH5ktq9NL/9fqtw5lzYLy1

I am being prompted the box but when entering the username/password, I am being redirected to "500-Internal Server Error".

Sounds like the HTTP Auth is working, but you Apache/PHP is busted.

500 means there was an error executing the PHP. Check your server logs, if you have questions post back what the logs show (might need to use Github Gist or Pastbin)
