Question

When performing a Bulk Registration, all my users are created except one. That user name generates the following error:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

New password did not match existing password for this user

The user does not exist for this name. I've also tried to create the user through the normal Registration page to no avail.

Does this mean Apache thinks there is an account by this name and the password is invalid? Is there a way to simply tell the authentication engine to forget all about this username so I can re-create?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Edit the .htpasswd file and delete the row containing that user.

To output an internal server error if a user entry already exists in .htpasswd is quite bad. I filed Bugs:Item4169
