[pmwiki-users] crypt() && htpasswd problem

[Marco Ferretti]

Hi all,
I am facing a strange problem on a newly installed ubuntu machine : 
if I try to use the .htpasswd with authuser, the login process cannot 
recognize the user/password, while, if I explicitly set the user in 
config.php, everything goes fine.

I have made a simple test : 

htpasswd -cb /var/www/pmwiki/.htpasswd admin admin
& ( in /var/www/pmwiki/local/config.php ) 
$AuthUser['htaccess'] = 'local/.htpasswd'; # location of htpasswd file
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php");

then tried a login typing admin/admin and I got a username/password error

(Also tryied full path to .htpasswd)
Replaced : 
$AuthUser['htaccess'] = 'local/.htpasswd'; # location of htpasswd file
with : 
$AuthUser['admin'] = crypt('admin');

same test works .

I am using apache 1.3 installed via apt  ( 1.3.33-8ubuntu1 ) & mod php4 
( 4.4.0-3ubuntu2)

anyone experiencing the same probs ??
TIA
Marco
