htpasswds

Accounts when migrated from cpanel. the password protected directories no more work

They are not restored, even if we manually copy it over, it doesnt work

cPanel stores the password files in folder .htpasswds at /home/username
Even when they are restored, we get a 500 error on protected folders after entering passwords.

you need to check you error log and that you have the correct permissions on it.
