htpasswd and svn

[TravInSF]

Hello, trying to install SVN on my server, and I'm having a problem with htpasswd

I'm following these instructions: /http://sven.webiny.com/subversion-on-cpanel-3-with-centos-55-and-easyapache-32/

and I'm stopped at "Now add subversion user accounts, and their passwords:"

When I run the command as written, i get:

bash: htpasswd: command not found

even though I can see htpasswd in /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd

I noted elsewhere that I should be using htpasswd2, but a find of that yields nothing.

So, what do I do? is there something that needs to be reinstalled?

Thanks in advance

Hello TravInSF,

Are you logged in as the root user rather than a wheel group or sudo user for issuing these commands?

Thanks.

I'm trying to install SVN on my server, and I've run into a snag. I've searched to the extent that I know what to search for, and have no solution yet.

I've reached this line:

Now add subversion user accounts, and their passwords:
root@div [~]# htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-conf yourusername

which returns:

bash: htpasswd: command not found

Note that when I navigate to /usr/local/apache/bin, I can see htpasswd; I have also chmod'ed it to 755, perhaps ill-advisedly and needlessly, but in desperation.

My Apache version is 2.2.17, so my impression from reading is that i need to use htpasswd2; of course, I can find this nowhere on my system, either by looking around myself, or by running find, whereis, or locate. In fact, there isn't even an apache2 directory.

Apologies if this obvious and annoying, but I've truly searched the terms that seemed appropriate, and have nothing so far.

Any thoughts on what I might try next?

if you are in the /usr/local/apache/bin folder, run the command using ./

./htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-conf yourusername

You can also specify the full path to the file

/usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-conf yourusername

Thank you both. @Tristan, yes root, but regardless; @sirdopes, the ./ addition to the path worked. Any idea why, just in case it'll save me additional grief later? Many thanks again.

edit: sorry for the double-post; I force-refreshed and everything, and did not see my original post, so I reposted thinking it had been modded out due to the link or something.

It's not in the normal place because it's a cPanel installed Apache.

Change you command to /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd and it will work.
