The only way I could import into the repo was as root.

No, I think you've got it there Steve :-)
I ran htpasswd as root, so the file will be owned by root.

After creating them I ran
#chown -R apache:apache /srv
so they should be OK

<grin/> No, more than that, it can block me from
using my computer!
I switch it off as part of my initial setup! Horrible thing.

I'll let you know, but I think you have found the problem.


Many thanks.
