I'm working on blocking a folder with .htaccess, which I've never used before, and I'm having some trouble. Here's what I have
.htaccess (located in the folder I want blocked):
AuthName "Username and password required"
AuthUserFile /.htpasswd
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
.htpasswd (located at root, password is encrypted in actual file):
tim:blah
I'm getting 500 Internal Server errors with this and I can't figure out why.

Most likely problem is this line:
This line should provide full filesystem path to the password file e.g.
To discover your filesystem path, you can create a PHP document containing
echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
