Question

do you have example on how to edit .htaccess and .htpasswd file such that the web will only ask for login and password once once when a user login.

I set the DocumentRoot to /home/httpd/twiki/bin, which execute view when URL http://www.abc.com. both the .htaccess and .htpasswd file are in the /home/httpd/twiki/bin directory. I used %htpasswd to add in couple of name to the file. But the authentication does not seem to work. Pleas advise.

Also, it seems that the Twiki web does not allow me to edit the pages, always give me Access Deny. I am TWikiGuest which is inside the Administrator Group, see below cut and paste.

TWiki Administrator Group

Set GROUP = TWikiGuest #Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup

• TWiki version: Dec 2000
• Web server: Apache
• Server OS: Linux

Answer

twiki/bin should be a cgi-bin directory, not the document root. Also, the .htpasswd should be in the twiki/data directory. Please follow the TWiki installation instructions carefully.
