==Changing "the site password"==

Certain directories on http://www.cagreens.org are protected by the file <code>/w/cal/internal/.htaccess</code>.
The passwords are stored, encrypted, in a file <code>/w/cal/internal/.htpasswd</code> which you manipulate with the <code>htpasswd</code> command.
These root shell incantations update the password for the gpca user ID.  The htpasswd command comes with the Apache web server.  Obviously, the <code>man</code> and <code>ls</code> commands are optional.  The <code>cp</code> command seems like a reasonable precaution.

<code>cd /w/cal/cc/internal<br />
man htpasswd
ls -a<br />
cp -p  .htpasswd  htpasswd2010<br />
htpasswd  -b -c .htpasswd gpca &lsquo;''new password''&lsquo;<br />
</code>
