Hello-- I'm new to this list--greetings everybody. I'm setting up my first web server, using FC3 distro, all available updates applied, specifics pasted below. Apparently the Fedora folks have not finished incorporating Apache V2.2 into their update channels (or is it considered a "new" package?). I have followed a lot of the great advice of the yolinux site to get up and running, including their directions on password-protecting an area. I made the new directory, and opted to put the controls in httpd.conf. Everything seems to be working fine, but there is an annoying debug message that occurs every time the directory is accessed: [Tue Feb 14 00:26:38 2006] [debug] mod_auth_pgsql.c(778): \ [client 10.0.0.4] [mod_auth_pgsql.c] - missing configuration parameters The only thing I can turn up via Google on that string points to the following excerpt of the module source: >>>>>>>>> /* if *password* checking is configured in any way, i.e. then * handle it, if not decline and leave it to the next in line.. * We do not check on dbase, group, userid or host name, as it is * perfectly possible to only do group control and leave * user control to the next guy in line. */ if ((!sec->auth_pg_pwd_table) && (!sec->auth_pg_pwd_field)) { ap_log_rerror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_WARNING, 0, r, "[mod_auth_pgsql.c] - missing configuration parameters"); return DECLINED; } <<<<<<<<< I'm not using sql, and doubt that I will. I cannot see anything in the configuration file that would activate this. Here is the section of httpd.conf that pertains to the directory: >>>>>>>>> <Directory "/"> # Options FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Deny from all </Directory> <Directory "/web/html"> Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks AllowOverride None Allow from all </Directory> <Directory "/web/icons"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Allow from all Order allow,deny </Directory> <Directory "/web/cgi-bin"> Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Allow from all Order allow,deny </Directory> <Directory /web/html/missy> AllowOverride AuthConfig AuthName "MISSY'S PLACE" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /web/etc/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null require user missy </Directory> <<<<<<<<< I was going to submit this as a bug, but per their advice I decided to post this here first. For kicks I ran up2date, and noticed there was an update on the mod_auth_pgsql module. (Stupid Red Hat alert notification tool had a blue check mark, when updates were available). One other item of weirdness is that the message is flagged as a "debug" message, and I have set the logging level to "notice." If anyone has an idea about this problem, or some advice for a newb', I'm all ears.
