Question

Installing this twiki has run me into various pitfalls which I have gotten past -- until this one.

I wish to require users to authorize. I follow the instructions.

And when I create a new user, I go through the registration procedure and then I check the .htpasswd file:

/home/sites/site93/twiki/data/.htpasswd

and see that a new user with a password has been added there.

BUT no user is able to authenticate, not even TWikiGuest!

here's /home/sites/site93/web/twiki/bin/.htaccess


Redirect /twiki/index.html http://playlistnetwork.com/twiki/bin/view

AuthUserFile /home/sites/site93/twiki/data/.htpasswd
AuthName ByPassword
AuthType Basic

SetHandler cgi-script

ErrorDocument 401 /twiki/bin/oops/TWiki/TWikiRegistration?template=oopsauth

<Files ~ "[^/]*\.html$">
       SetHandler blabla
       allow from all
</Files>

<Files "edit">
       require valid-user
</Files>
etc...

Answer

It looks like the location of your .htpasswd file is not set correctly in .htpasswd. Set it to:

AuthUserFile /home/sites/site93/web/twiki/data/.htpasswd
