Ok, so it looks like the .htaccess kicks in and prompts for password, which means that httpd.conf must be set up with the required AllowOverride. So either your path is wrong and it can't find .htpasswd or it doesn't like something in your .htaccess.

To make absolutely sure of the paths you would have to log in and check out httpd.conf as jdmorgan suggested. In the interim, try your .htaccess this way:

AuthName Enter Password
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site4/web/members/.htpasswd
require valid-user
