    3 To install, extract the tarball into a path accessible via your webserver, for instance
    4 
    5   /var/www/htpasstool
    6 
    7 Make sure the directory is owned by the user your webserver runs as (e.g. www-data).
    8 
    9 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   10 
   11 First of all, edit the index.php file as follows.
   12 
   13 1 Change the BASE_DIRECTORY constant to your liking. The htpasstool script
   14 operates below this directory; in other words; if you put BASE_DIRECTORY to
   15 /var/www/somewhere, htpasstool will only be able to manage .htaccess and
   16 .htpasswd files in /var/www/somewhere/... It will not be able to manage
   17 /var/www, or even /var/www/somewhereelse/.
   18 
   19 2. If you changed BASE_DIRECTORY, you are probably going to want to modify the
   20 $url_prefix variable too. See inside the index.php file for an explanation of
   21 what this variable does.
   22 
   23 3. If you intend to use the password reset/assign e-mail functionality, also
   24 set/modify $admin_email, $template_subject and $template_body to your liking.
   25 
   26 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   27 
   28 Now surf to the htpasstool directory on your webserver.
   29 
   30 If you don't have .htpasswd/.htaccess files yet in that directory, start by
   31 adding a user, and then protect the directory.
   32 
   33 At this point, you are set up. You can use htpasstool to manage .htpasswd files
   34 across your webspace.
