I figured this out now.
This is similar to the wiki.d directory when you are
installing pmwiki.
I delete the current "members.htpasswd" file and
the used "chmod 2777 ." on the main pmwiki directory
and also on the pwmiki/local directory. Then I tried
to create a new login in my browser by going to the
wiki page. The program was able to create
the file for me (previously I created it in the command
line with the htpassed command). After that I changed
the main pmwiki directory and also on the pwmiki/local
directories abck to normal with "chmod 577 .".
Looking at ls -alF I see the owner is now listed as
"apache", so perhaps I could have done this with
the chown command, but it works now.
