[Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] Doesn't work with All in One Seo Pack plugin

With AskApache Password Protect(AAPP) installed I tried to install All in one SEO pack and she wouldnt go. I got “Could not create directory…./public_html/wp-content/upgrade/all-in-one-seo-pack/all-in-one-seo-pack”. I was told by my host support to disable AAPP which I did but it still wouldn’t install. So I deleted AAPP completely and then the SEO Pack installed fine. I thought I would share this as to help shed light on any possible problems people may have with it. Although AAPP seems like a solid plugin, I am a bit concerned to re-install it since it may snag up my system again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Alwyn

With AAPP installed I got the same error message when trying to install a few other plugins as well as updates.
