Hello,
For the past few days, I've been migrating a bunch of apache-1.3.41
vhosts to apache-2.2.8 (on the same machine, 6.3-RELEASE i386). Many of
directories are protected with AuthType directives and I want to reuse the
existing .dat files.
After working successfully for more than a day with the original .dat
files, apache-2.2.8 suddenly decides that format is not supported.
Here's what the error log says:
This function has not been implemented on this platform: could not open
dbm (type DB) auth file:
/usr/local/etc/apache22/auth/admin-passwords.dat
I'm fairly certain that the beginning of the error messages coincided
with the first modifications I made to the .dat files after copying them
from /usr/local/etc/apache to /usr/local/etc/apache22. The syntax I
used to modify the files were:
dbmmanage admin-groups.dat add newAdminUser newAdminGroup
dbmmanage admin-passwords.dat adduser newAdminUser
I compiled apache-2.2.8 with the following options:
make -DWITH_BDB -DWITH_BDB_BASE
And have the following directives in the conf file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorized Users"
AuthBasicProvider dbm
AuthDBMType DB
AuthDBMUserFile etc/apache22/auth/admin-passwords.dat
AuthDBMGroupFile etc/apache22/auth/admin-groups.dat
require group newAdminGroup
In the apache-1.3.41 httpd.conf file, I used:
AuthName "Authorized Users"
AuthType Basic
AuthDBUserFile /usr/local/etc/apache/admin-passwords.dat
AuthDBGroupFile /usr/local/etc/apache/admin-groups.dat
require group newAdminGroup
This change in apache's behavior is very strange indeed. I tried
copying the original .dat files and restarting apache, but to no avail.
I also must admit that I'm a little confused between AuthDBM/AuthDB and
and all the DBM/BDB options in FreeBSD's Make infrastructure
Many thanks for your consideration and assistance.

Doug
