htpasswd permission problem

xtreme2490 · Unread post by **xtreme2490** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 2:31 am

Plesk 7.5.4 on Red Hat 9.0

When I install Oscommer by Plesk i get a error

sappmng: /usr/local/psa/var/cgitory/osCommerce-2.2ms2-13/scripts/postinstall execution failed: /usr/bin/htpasswd: unable to create tempoaru file 'htpasswd.tmp.bSS68w'
Unable to create file '.htpasswd'

When i afterwards want to change admin password in CP i get :

sappmng: /home/httpd/vhosts/babydagboek.be/vault_scripts/shopos/reconfigure execution failed: /usr/bin/htpasswd: unable to create temporary file 'htpasswd.tmp.0mXiPu' Unable to create file `.htpasswd`

What can i do, test this under various domains, all the same .

It seems that it has something to do with the user htpasswd is being executed with. Apache user is not able to execute htpasswd command.
If i manually execute htpasswd as root , everything works fine.

Can someone help me please ?

This is what SW Soft has to say about the issue :

It seems some permission problem with /usr/bin/htpasswd utility. We can't say exactly what can be the problem but we can't also support you because our records indicate that your free support period has expired.

Is this an ASL box?

What do you mean by ASL box.

It is my server that is housed in a datacenter in Brussels (Belgium)
