Hello, I am running the laster RHEL 4 with Apache 2.0.52 and am having some strange problems with apache and mod_auth. In my httpd.conf file I have setup the following: <Directory "/home/blahblah/share"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> and in the "share" directory I have created a .htaccess file containing: --snip-- AuthType Basic AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthAuthoritative On AuthUserFile /home/htpasswd.users Require valid-user --snip-- Now the web page provides a user login popup but no matter what I have I can not login. I have removed and created the users in my htpasswd.users file a few times. The apache error_log shows: [Wed Mar 16 12:17:27 2005] [error] [client IP] MySQL ERROR: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [Wed Mar 16 12:17:27 2005] [error] [client IP] MySQL user testadmin not found: /share/ Why is it using and looking for a mysql connection ? Thanks. Michael. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
