Question

I am pretty much a newbie, trying to get mailnotify to work properly on a hosted account. When I call it from the command line, I get the following error: /usr/home/mysite/data/.htpasswd open failed: Permission denied at /usr/www/users/mysite/wiki2/lib/TWiki/Users/HtPasswdUser.pm line 75.

Does anyone know what I need to change to make this work? Not sure if I need to change the permissions on .htpasswd (which I can't do), or something else.

Thanks

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.

erm, since the error message was pretty clear, I'm not sure what else to suggest. You can try running mailnotify as the webserver user, I guess.

The reason it needs to access .htpasswd is that that is where the email addresses for users are stored.
