Permission problem

[xtreme2490]

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 .


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.

anyone ??

 

[xtreme2490]

Can someone verify that osCommerce package can be installed without above error ?

Running Plesk 7.5.4 (latest version) on Red Hat 9.0

 

[xtreme2490]

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 ?

Hi,
I have same problem with you, do you already found any solution for this problem ?
can you please help me . Thanks

 

[xtreme2490]

No sorry , till now no one is willing to help :s
Still the same

Hi,
i already found the solution, but it is a silly solution . I just create my own .htpasswd from ssh .

 

[xtreme2490]

Indeed , but if your client wants to change the password by control panel , the .htpasswd file is removed :s
Most clients don't even get access to ssh due lack of experience.

how to fix this problem !!!


Go to www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions and install the admin login with password module.

It adds a login screen to oscommerce which requires a email addy and password, operates off the DB and does not require .htaccess.

Problem solved.
