I use php as a CGI from a secure location to do it all.
To add a user to .htpasswd on Apache:
$thefile=fopen("$pathtofile/.htpasswd", "a");
$newuserline="$username:" . crypt($pass) . "\n";
fwrite($thefile, $newuserline);
kind regards,

Peter,
You are correct - I did this last year:
$strEncryptedPasswd = crypt($Password, "\0");
$strUserInfo = $UserID.":".$strEncryptedPasswd."\n";
where $Password is the input password & $UserID is the user id.
Just read your .htpasswd file into an array and cycle through it writing out
each
I thought about.
But I need to be able to change user passwords also.
Writing directly to the file will only add another user.
Unless you know any ways of breaking apart the file and picking out the user
names then changing the password for that name.
EG
A typical htpasswd file with two entries..
Actually,
I found out this
By executing what you mentioned earlier:
ls -l
the path I get for htpasswd is...
usr/local/apache/utils
I have then tried in my PHP code
$go = "/user/local/apache/utils/htpasswd -b users/domain/.htpasswd abc
pass";
passthru ("$go");
Still no luck.

can you write directly to the password file using crypt() instead of trying
to run the htpasswd program? I think I used to do this in Perl, but it's
been a LONG time since I tried it. I think it worked, though.
Pete.
PS: I'm also pretty sure that if you can't write direclty to the .htpasswd

The .htpasswd file lives in the root of my user account.
ie:
[www] directory
.htpasswd file
It then goes:
[www]
|
[public_html]
[htocs]
|
All website content etc
If I go beyond the www directory, I get a list of hundreds of directories
and files.

you aren't root.
can you give me an output of 'ls -l '

If I try su nobody it asks for nobody's password. If i enter no password a I

I am able to add users to the htpasswd file via telnet or zoc but my mission
is to get it working using PHP
All the syntax to do it, from what I have seen is relatively straight
forward. but f

do it as root. su is 'switch user' and nobody has no password.
he's trying to get you to execute the command htpasswd just like
apache would execute it when you call passthru in ph
If i do that using telnet it asks for nobody's password.
What does this mean?

This works for me...
$update = exec ("/usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd -b ./.htpasswd $username
$password");
Just make sure that the user that Apache runs under has the appropriate
permissions to the .htpasswd file.

I have set the htpasswd file to 777 while i attempt to get this to work.
I have found the htpasswd executable.
/usr/local/bin
So my code now reads:
Still no go.
Any ideas to view errors while I attempt to write to the file .htpasswd

the user that the webserver runs as (usually "apache" or "nobody") must have write
permissions to the file which htpasswd is attempting to write to, or else it won't be
able to make the changes you are attempting to make.

What permissions do you need to execute htpasswd?

May be you need to use absolute path for htpasswd. eg. /usr/bin/htpasswd

After much investigation through many newsgroups and websites, I found out
that this is the way you can execute a unix apache command to add a user to
the htpasswd list with PHP.
Problem is, it doesn't add any information to the htpasswd file.
Note: The example below is...
domain = my user name
a
20 matches
Mail list logo
