Hi I'm attempting to move a website that includes a CMS system (first time I've ever tried to do it) but run into problems when I try to access the CMS, receiving a 500 internal error. My host gave me this information as to why it is happening. It's trying to reference a file in another user's account, one that doesn't exist on the server. [Thu Nov 20 20:54:59 2008] [error] [client 216.110.94.227] (2)No such file or directory: Could not open password file: /home/au/com/keypoint/c/chin-web/.htpasswd, referer: http://74.53.103.34/~chincomm/admin/ If anyone can help me work out what to do with this info to get things working I would be very grateful. thanks
don't know what CMS you are using, but I think their maybe a folder protecting script in your admin folder, i think you need to remove that file or edit the configure files to make the path right
The problem is that the .htpasswd file referenced in the .htaccess file cannot be found. You will need the change the link in the .htaccess file to the location where the .htpasswd file can be found. /home/au/com/keypoint/c/chin-web/.htpasswd is the location it was set to on the old server, this path will need to be changed to reflect the location on the new server.
