I think you only need to create the directory /passwd, then use 'touch' to create the file, passwords Thanks Thomas,
Not familiar with the "touch" command, can you point me to info on it, or show the command syntax?
Not sure if htpasswd creates the password file. If not, the as root, run: touch passwords ,in the /passwd directory. It will be an empty file, but the 'htpasswd -c' should create this for you.
I think you have a permissions problem so if you create the passwrds file with touch, you probably won't be able to add the password to it using htpasswd either.
Where are you creating these directories? In the past when I used this, my passwd directory was /var/www/passwd/
I created /passwd/passwords in the main directory / and then ran the /usr/bin/htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite command. I chmoded 777 the passwords dir so I don't think that's the problem. I'm doing this as root.
