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. _________________________________________________________________ Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/connect_your_way.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_video_042008 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
