Whenever a user registers himself, it gives a sucessfull message but is not writing the password to .htpassword file under data directory. I checked path of $dataDir and it correct.

Answer

This problem occured because, i had a separate login name apart from TWikiName. by default the program register writes TWikiName and password to the .htpassword file. But in this case it should be login name & password. for that the following changes are required. in register file under bin directory @ line 144 change if( !$remoteUser ){ htpasswdAddUser( htpasswdGeneratePasswd( $wikiName, $passwordA )); } with

if( $remoteUser ){ htpasswdAddUser( htpasswdGeneratePasswd( $remoteUser, $passwordA )); }

and it worked.
