Adding user for password folder
 

Hi guys for some reason i cant seem to add another user with password

here is what i'm doing

[root@www root]# htpasswd /var/www/pass/passwords/password username

answer
htpasswd: cannot modify file /var/www/pass/passwords/password; use '-c' to
create it
[root@www root]# htpasswd -c /var/www/pass/passwords/password username
htpasswd: cannot create file /var/www/pass/passwords/pasword


When i first create this a few weeks ago it went well
it will only let one user in..

TT

just an update

Now i get this

[root@www root]# htpasswd /var/www/pass/passwords Username
New password:
Re-type new password:

htpasswd: The file /var/www/pass/passwords does not appear to be a valid htpasswd file.
[root@www root]#

Do i have to rename my passwords to htpasswd ?

TT

A couple of things to try:

1.Make sure that the directory you are trying to create the file in actually exists firsts. Then use the htpasswd -c to create it, then use just htpasswd by itself (w/o -c to add other users)

2. If that still doesn't work, it may not like the permissions on the directory or something.

I just tried it and it works for me on a FC1 box:

Thank you

I see where i went wrong, it now works ok

thanks again
