Resolved: htpasswd issues (-b) on FreeBSD
I wrote a script to batch-create directories with .htaccess and .htpasswd files. I am using the following line to create the .htpasswd file: Code:
htpasswd -cb .htpasswd $USER $PASS However, I keep getting this message in return: Code:
Usage: htpasswd [-cm] passwordfile username The -c flag creates a new file. The -m flag forces MD5 encryption of the password. On Windows systems the -m flag is used by default. I tried it directly from the shell (no variables), and got the same error. Could it be that the version of htpasswd on this server does not support the -b option? If so, where can I get a version that supports it? The server is running FreeBSD 6.3. Thanks AS ---------- Post updated at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:23 PM ---------- Figured it out. It looks like this server has a REAL old version of apache. I downloaded newer apache binaries and uploaded the newer htpasswd to a directory on the server (since it is not my server, I can't upgrade apache on it).

Perl Script
Found this with a simple google search.
httpasswd-b for older systems. It's a Perl script that implements '-b'. |
