Some clues at: http://old.nabble.com/help-with-mod_authn_dbd-and-oracle-td20562832.html The actual DBMS drivers are built into apr-util, or supplied separately since they can be dynamically loaded. In your environment, if it's supplied separately then just be sure you got it; otherwise, if you're using a shared apr-util, it needs to be built for Oracle support; otherwise (HTTPD using its own inbuilt apr-util) HTTPD will need to be built for Oracle support.
Wasn't built with any DBD support libraries. Makes sense, when the original package was built this whole idea of doing database queries from within an Apache module just wasn't part of the considerations. I've just verified the Solaris development zone where this was last constructed is still available, and the person responsible for it is re-familiarizing himself with it in preparation for rebuilding with database support.
For a quick test, you could try just changing 'pgsql' to 'oracle' and see what happens. I agree with others that 'DBDriver pgsql' asks for the PostgreSQL driver.
Same results for "DBDriver oracle" so clearly my package needs to be rebuilt for support of these additional concerns. Even though the customer wants to use an Oracle DB, I think we'll build this just for ODBC, since there are apparently unwelcome licensing requirements for the supporting Oracle libraries that are not even going to be considered for the multiple hosts running Apache that will need this authentication. They'll use ODBC to talk to the odbc listener on the licensed Oracle system instead. So, we need to add --with-SOMETHING and/or --enable-SOMETHING to get the odbc driver built, right? Reading the configuration docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/configure.html and trying to find something referring to database drivers or something like that, the only thing I see is the --with-apr=DIR or FILE configuration option. It's clear as mud to me, sorry. -- J.Lance Wilkinson ("Lance") InterNet: Lance.Wilkinson@xxxxxxx Systems Design Specialist - Lead Phone: (814) 865-4870 Digital Library Technologies FAX: (814) 863-3560 E3 Paterno Library Penn State University University Park, PA 16802 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
