HiHi!
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
Your Q is a little unclear. For example you said 'new' credentials, but that doesn't state clearly whether you've ever had the htaccess system ever working before.
With the -cm those are not 'new' credentials. (Meaning you are not 'adding them to the htpasswd.') Man says '-c If passwordfile already exists, it is rewritten and truncated.' Meaning it is now the -only- username/password pair.
Beyond that, what Apache does with that pair depends on what htaccess tells it to do.
Please post your htacces, and also describe what you 'intend' it to do. Have a :) day! jb -- Jim Barchuk jb@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
