Apache Friends Support Forum

I want to log in as apache admin, and I have setup the user name and password before. But not I cannot login. A error message presented in error log file saies:

Could not open password file: F:/xampp/security/xampp.users

However, the authority file path have been sat as:

AuthUserFile "C:\xampp\security\xampp.users"

what is the problem?

I need some help on this. What exactly is an Apache Admin?

Besides that, the files have to be in the ServerRoot, at least AFAIK.

F:/xampp/security/xampp.users
"C:\xampp\security\xampp.users"

Where is XAMPP installed? Are you running a vhost or something?

It might also be useful to know the XAMMP and Windows Versions you are using.

Good Luck

Most likely Dropbox mapped a drive to make that work.

See what Explorer thinks F: is mapped to. XAMPP can't see what Dropbox is doing with the Windows OS.
