|
|
I'm trying to get some of my hosted directories to be restriced by passwords and I'm trying to use the mod_auth_db method for storing the access file.
i ran "dbmmanage passwords.db adduser username" as per http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html and it said tat it added the user, but /usr/apache/passwd doesn't exist (gentoo uses it's /etc system), but /etc/apache/passwd doesn't exist either. So where do I point my server to to find the user database?
PS- "dbmmanage passwords.db view" works as it should, so the database ids in my box, somewhere... |

try the directory you were in when you executed that command... I've never done auth using DBM, but I would think that command would create the db file in the current directory since no path was specified.... you could also try the following command:
find /* -iname passwords.db _________________ +~+ Sometimes a good ole loving kick is all it needs +~+ |
