just to add my 2cents to what other folks mentioned... Maybe we should create some doc describing Apache's dependency on support libraries in general, and mention aspects of the apr and apr-util configuration which affect Apache functionality? The descriptions of AuthDBMType and RewriteMap could point to some text in that doc. As you implied, an easy way is needed to determine the available dbm types. Until apr-util provides an appropriate run-time mechanism we could change httpd -V outoupt to display a string like Available dbm types: sdbm|db based on the build of apr-util which Apache was compiled with (which for now is just about always the build of apr-util which Apache runs with. Alternatively, this could take the form -D APU_HAVE_SDBM -D APU_HAVE_DB to be consistent with most of the other httpd -V output. (I appreciate your desire to help. I started looking at this a couple of days ago and wasn't happy with the situation either :) ) -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
