 When the module encounters an error authenticating (such as an invalid
 database config, etc.) instead of failing silently and handing control
 to the other exisiting authentication modules, it breaks. In my
 situation, I want to use the module to authenticate a virtual host on
 the server, but not the entire server. Naturally the virtual host in
 question has a valid config, but the remaining virtual hosts do not.
 Some utilize other authentication methods for their sites. These methods
 are now broke because libapache-mod-auth-mysql attempts first and breaks
 due to the lack of a valid database config.

This description does not exactly make a lot sense.

You're using mod_auth_mysql in a Directory or Location block usually.

Could you provide enough configuration snippets to rebuild your
setup for verification and debugging?

Regards,

Joey
