Check to see whether you have an /etc/shadow file and a corresponding entry in it. If you have shadow passwords and you must enable PAM authentication in Apache then you have two choices: Setup a separate password database for apache and configure PAM to use it for that service or make the /etc/passwd file readable by a group with the apache user in the group. If the latter is your only choice ensure that the apache process is running under a separate user to other apache processes so that other scripts, etc cannot gain access to the file.
