This looks like a configuration problem related to recent changes in
HtPasswdStore options [1] before acct_mgr-0.4, and you missed reading
about it in related wiki documentation. Make sure to look at our
configuration cookbook page as well.

Please re-write

password_file = /usr2/trac/.htpasswd
to
htpasswd_file = /usr2/trac/.htpasswd

should help, or you need to tell the exact AccountManager revision/version.

Btw, you may want to select a stronger hash type too:
htpasswd_hash_type = sha512

Mr. Hoffmann,

Problem solved! Thank you very much for that configuration correction.  That was indeed this issue and I did miss it when looking at the documentation.  Thank you for that reference  My trac migration is now complete and I have upgraded the password security hash per your suggestion as well.  

regards,

Michael Forrester
