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 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.

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)
