Question

Hi all, I have successfully installed Twiki405 on Fedora core 2, Apache2.0. Its works fine, but When I try to register a user in the twiki after entering all the details when I press submit button. it gives following error:

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

path open failed: Permission denied (page shown in the browser /twiki/bin/passwd/Main/WebHome)

in the system, /var/www/html/twiki/data/warn200611.txt shows this error:

| 14 Nov 2006 - 07:28 | /.htpasswd open failed: Permission denied at /var/www/html/twiki/lib/TWiki/Users/HtPasswdUser.pm line 101.

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.

From your browser, run the configure script and look at the security section, particularly the Passwords section, there is parameter called {Htpasswd}{FileName}, make sure this is correct (with a full pathname)
