I'm getting this error today

Cannot write to /home/oneroast/public_html/members/data/.htpasswd

which means that users can access my site, but they can't purchase from me and all of my autorenewals (1SC + paypal) aren't going through...

urgent! help!

Q.: I'm getting the following error messages: "Cannot open /home/some/public_html/amember/data/.htpasswd for write. Make directory /home/some/public_html/amember/data and this file writeable for PHP scripts. "

A.: It happened because your hosting or you changed permissions for some files in aMember folder. These files (.htpasswd and .htgroup) are hidden if you open it using FTP client, so please use your webhosting control panel file manager. Do the following:

1. login into your webhosting control panel;
2. open webhosting control panel file manager;
3. open folder "amember", then open folder "data"
4. if there are files exists : ".htpasswd" and ".htgroup", chmod these files to 666 (read and write allowed for all)
5. if there are no ".htpasswd" and ".htgroup" files exists in "data" folder, chmod folder to 777 (read, write and execution allowed for all)
6. then click to aMember Control Panel -> Rebuild Db, it should work without any error messages.

If you have any problems with following these steps, try to contact your webhosting support. If nothing helps, feel free to contact CGI-Central support at https://www.cgi-central.net/support/ with your aMember CP login info and FTP info.
