I'm setting up a site that will have some access controls. I know that user credentials can be held in a .htpasswd file, however I would like to use a database, specifically a MySQL database, to hold user credentials. Is it possible to just setup a .htaccess that tells Apache to use a database or are additional things needed, like a 3rd party module? I have access to apache 1.3.37 and 2.2.8 .
It is not possible via .htaccess, you require the information in httpd.conf (or some config file included from it)
With 2.2.8 you configure Apache with: --with-mysql and use the DBDriver mysqlIf you want a fast 1,2,3 example of how to use MySQL auth see http://kb.ausics.net/apache.php
Then you need to look at apache web site for detailed information on all possible options. -- Cheers Res I read usenet and lists in pine. But m$ outlook, thunderbird and gmail often use html span/whatever for quotes, makes it hard to tell who said what, so I dont try. If I ignore you, thats why!
