Hi all:
My simple php authenticate script refuses to work, whenever I have a
hash of the password stored in the database-table. (having used
phpMyAdmin2.1.0 to do it)
It seems to work okay without it but then I'll have a plain text
password stored in my DB, not a good plan you'll agree. Strange thing
is at about the same time I noticed this, something seems to have
gone awry with my Apache 1.3.14 web-server, (on RH 6.1), in that it
will encode a .htpasswd file for me no-probs, but when it is placed in a
.htpasswd/.htacess duo it refuses to accept the password I just gave it!
(having tried several times)
Does phpMyAdmin rely on the same encoding mechanism for hashing
passwords? I've nver had this trouble - before anyone asks wether my
Apache http authentication has ever worked! (it has)
Any help will prevent my head becoming more sore than it is rapidly
becoming!
cheers.
Russ
