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.
Anyone know where the default location of htpasswd is on a centos 5.1 install? Or how to generate a password file on a centos 5.1 install?
There's a utility called 'which' you can use to discover the location of certain apps you want to learn about.
[jperrin@insanity ~]$ which htpasswd /usr/bin/htpasswd
However keep in mind that just because you can run the utility doesn't mean that you'll have permissions to where it puts the files. It's possible that you may have to run htpasswd as root.
