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

ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is 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.
