Question

I copied the password and confirm block from TWikiRegistrationPub to TWikiRegistration, but the register script does not seem to be changing the .htpasswd file. If I manually add users/passwords to the file, the authentication works, but I'd like users to be able to set their passwords automatically.

How can I determine why .htpasswd is not being updated? .

• TWiki version: 01 Dec 2000
• Web server: Apache 1.3.14
• Server OS: Linux 2.2.19-7.0.1 (RedHat)

Answer

You need to remove the "Intranet login name" field from the form. The easiest is to replace all content of TWikiRegistration with the one from TWikiRegistrationPub.

Also make sure that the .htpasswd file has the proper permissions. Like other files, it has to be writable by the httpd user nobody.
