Thanks! Ok I ran /usr/bin/htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite as root,
and still got
the cannot create file error.
Does the /passwd directory exist?
It does now. It did not when I first ran the command, however I just created the directory /passwd/passwords and re ran the command as root, and still no luck.
PS, I think there are some permission requirements for the directory and file as well. I think they have to be owned by 'apache'.
