[CentOS] Re: Apache Authorization Access Control - location of htpasswd in Centos 5.1?

I tried creating a password file by executing htpasswd -c

/passwd/passwords

...

...

famsite but apparently htpasswd is not in my path, I�m getting the �cannot create file /passwd/passwords famsite� error.

That rather sounds like the path /passwd/passwords does not exist or

is not

...

writable.

Well, I just tried chomd 777 passwords and still the same problem.

Can you show us what the result of the

ls -l /passwd/passwords

command is?

Thanks for asking there, actually the problem has been solved, I deleted the passwords dir and chmoded 777 the passwd dir and the unsername and password were created by htpasswd.

That was your problem. /passwd/passwords should have been a file, not a directory.
