it would be nice if we could use the mod_auth_mysql module alongside the regular digest authentication. (Currently, installation of this module forces it to handle ALL authentication requests, preventing a server from using both digest authentication and MySQL authentication). According to the developers you can accomplish this by passing -DENABLE=0 to the apxs command-line during the build process: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1218049&forum_id=202943 I tested this by modifying the ebuild inside a local portage overlay and it works fine.
Which apache version? I'm using mysql, basic and digest authentication on the same server simultaneously for ages w/ apache-2.0.x, don't see what you mean here.
Im using Apache 1.3.34. After installation of mod_auth_mysql, several sites that used digest authentication reported it not working. I removed -D AUTH_MYSQL from /etc/conf.d/apache and restarted. Same sites started working again. In trwaling through the mod_auth_mysql Help forum I came across several posts that described a similar program (see URL above) where the developers describe a "fix" for this. Anyway, its working for me now using the overlay ebuild - this was just an enhancement that might be useful.
(In reply to comment #2) > Anyway, its working for me now using the overlay ebuild - this was just an > enhancement that might be useful. Well, I didn't know that apache-1 has such weird behaviour. Any reason why you don't/can't upgrade to 2.x?
Im setting this up on a shared web server that is currently in production. Stability is more important than running Apache 2.x.
fixed in cvs, thanks
