User not properly formatted in htpasswd

funkoolow

hi, launching the dedserver with the -webadmin -webusers \"/home/ns2server/.htpasswd\" parameter, it reports the following:

Error: /home/ns2server/.htpasswd:1: User 'funkoolow' is not properly formatted (invalid encoding)

the passwd file was created with the standard code:

htpasswd -c /home/ns2server/.htpasswd funkoolow
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user funkoolow

anyone else experienced that?

The built-in webserver uses digest authentication, not basic authentication. You have to use the htdigest tool to create your passwdfile.

that solved perfectly, thanks for the info
