Error Handling and Reporting

Manual Modifications to .htpasswd

The file that tracks usernames and password can be manually altered to fix exceptional

problems that can come up.

The authors of Apache have included in its distribution an executable called htpasswd for

this task.

Full documentation can be obtained at any UNIX prompt by typing:

man htpasswd

To add a new user named "admin" with a password of "mygr8tpass" where the password file is

located at /var/www/files/.htpasswd:

htpasswd -b -d /var/www/files/.htpassword admin mygr8tpass

Removing a user does not require a special tool. Simply find the line in the .htpassword file

with the username you'd like to remove and delete the entire line. Example:

pp-pianotuple:33z.TrcL5d6Rs

pp-theshade:9Wzsv2TBDkGnw

To deactivate the user "pp-theshade" remove the line so the file reads:

pp-pianotuple:33z.TrcL5d6Rs

Tips

If you manually add a username to rectify an error, the username must be identical to the one

generated by PayPal. This enables PayPal to deactivate this account when the subscription is

canceled or expires.

NOTE: Usernames and passwords for all your subscribers are found in each of your

subscriber’s subscription creation details within your history log.

Username: pp-

somename

already exists

This is unexpected. PayPal

checks each name against

previously used names to be

certain it has not been used on

your site. If your

.htpassword file is being

used by other credit card

processors it is theoretically

possible a duplicate can occur

however this is extremely

unlikely. To reduce even further

the remote possibility of

duplicates we prepend our

random usernames with pp-.

This will require manual intervention (see below). You

cannot have two users of the same name. The user was not

added.
