Cake doesn't know anything about htaccess. The instructions in there
are for Apache only.

You have a leading slash so Apache is expecting to find htpasswd
inside an app dir at the server's root. If your htaccess file is in
the same directory as the app dir, remove the leading slash.
Otherwise, provide the full path from the server root. (eg.
/var/www/...)
