Furthermore, to actually have AuthUserFile function in the same block, other modules were also missing, but the lack of them was indicated by 500 error codes to the users and rather confusing error messages in the error log. To satisfy things like the very basic upstream howto: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html one also needs auth_basic and authz_user in addition to authn_file. The upgrade procedure should grep the entire existing Apache configuration for instances of AuthType Basic, AuthUserFile, Require (valid-)?user and such things, and subsequently enable their respective modules. -- 2.
