RE: cannot figure out how to add a new user (Apache Users)

Thank you for responding, Yehuda.

(1) I have no idea what my password configuration is. How do I tell? I have looked at my httpd.conf file but have not seen any apparent reference to usernames or passwords.

(2) How do I configure a new user account if I don’t require a specific username?

Please excuse my ignorance and less-than-basic knowledge of Apache HTTP Server 2.2.

Thanks again!

Tim

What configuration do you have that requires the password (from your config file or htaccess file)?

You need to have htpasswd modify the htpasswd file that your configuration is already referring to and you need to make sure you are not requiring a specific username.

I cannot figure out how to add a new user to Apache HTTP Server 2.2. I want
to add a "guest" account so that I don't have to give out my own
credentials. This is essentially what I've done and everything seems to
work, except I can't log into my site with these new credentials:

D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin>htpasswd -cm
passwords guest
New password: ********
Re-type new password: ********
Adding password for user guest
