Hi, I recently changed from 2.3.9 to 3.0.9 i have been running it on a windows machine with iispassword since 2005, so thought i better upgrade. Now all the passwords are being stored in plaintext in the .htpasswd file even though i have set it to encrypt them. Is there any reasaon for this. I know i'm going to get the usual it's not designed for windows etc, but if it works upto the point of not encrypting the passwords, surely it can only be something simple? Chris.
