Change Root Password

[xmurphylee]

Hello,

I am trying to change the root password and I have used the command :

htpasswd –c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

But I am getting an error saying something about htpasswd being a typo. Any suggestions? I am on Ubuntu using CORE 4.0.4

We would need to see the error message you're receiving to help.

One alternate way around, is to manually populate the hash in /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users file by using a generator such as http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/

The message I am getting after this command :

htpasswd –c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

is:

"If 'htpasswd' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it. like this: cnf htpasswd"

Thanks for the password site.

Try running apt-get install apache2-utils to install the htpasswd component. (if that's not it, it may be thttpd - I don't have an Ubuntu machine handy to test with.)

ran zypper install thttpd, and it worked afterinstall....thx

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!
