Question

I'm unable to login to do edits. After 3 tries it takes me to the register page again. I have moved TWikiRegisterPub to TwikiRegister in order to add passwords. That did demonstrate that TWiki can find and update the correct file (even though the encrypted password is wrong because TWiki does not use the Apache utlity to create an md5 encryption - STILL), but a manual creation using htpasswd.exe does not work either.

How do I get this to work?

.

• TWiki version: July Beta
• Web server: Apache 1.3.20
• Server OS: Windows NT 4.0sp6

Answer

My error - solved. Needs fully qualified path for .htpasswd file.

I have a similar problem - it doesn't look like the .htpasswd file is being updated at all

1. I have it set to chown nobody.nobody
2. I've confirmed that that is what Apache is running as
3. my .htaccess file in bin is AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/htdocs/twiki/data/.htpasswd
4. I've moved TWikiRegisterPub to TwikiRegister
5. I've added a user to .htpasswd with the htpasswd commend from the command prompt and then can log in with that user name

Try also doing chmod go+w .htpasswd temporarily. Also, check the Apache error_log file to see any errors that are occurring.

That's not doing it for me. Any other ideas? After trying to register, it comes up asking for a name and passwrod but I can't get past it. My apache error log shows

[Sun Jul 22 00:04:54 2001] [error] [client 192.168.0.42] user BrianJohnson not fo und: /twiki2/bin/edit/Know/register/Main/WebHome

Does the answer in HtaccessProblems help? -- JonReid - 26 Jul 2001

Yeah - that does it - it was a known bug I guess - you can register - just not after getting redirected there after an error
