Help needed with Apache::AuthCookie 2.007
Could someone provide a good FAQ or example of how to impliment this thing? The package documentation's "just copy the test script" example I'm sure is a great time-saver for the author but when one has problems it's really a pain with all the unrelated testing code. I'm having problems and it's probably my mod-perl configuration but I can't sort out what's wrong comparing to the test-script non-example. If someone could provide their setup without the "WhatEver" and "Sample" namings it'd be really appreciated! Thanks, Kenneth P.S. If you need to fix what's wrong (thanks, man!), the errors are configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?: /bqbin/gui.pl
Apache::AuthCookie or Apache::AuthDBI or Apache::???
What's the best way to authenticate users? I have a site where the entire site is to be protected. I want to log users in at the front of the web site, and keep them logged in as they travel around. I was trying to get AuthCookie to work but haven't been successful so far. Should I continue down this route? Is Apache::Session + AuthBasic better? Or is AuthDBI? I have a mysql database handy. What's the most popular Auth method nowadays? Is there a popularity/usage chart compiled anywhere? Thanks in advance! Kenneth
Re: Mod_Perl install - no apxs error -- COMPILED AND WORKING !!!
Finally installed!!! Sources Of Problems: * I was so focused on "no apxs" messages in mod_perl, I didnt question my custom build scripts that built mod_perl and Apache ... for two days! Scripts ran my apache's Configure after building mod_perl, wiping out mod_perl's changes to apache's config. * The mod_perl 'make test' tests fail if DO_PREP is selected. Ditto if you do not select EVERYTHING=1. Another red-herring-like distraction. * I didn't fully get rid of redhat's perl when I moved to 5.6.0, the 5.0.3 lib still existed in /usr/lib, and mod_perl may have been including that. The DSO apache would compile, but dump core when hit with a GET. Thanks *SO* much to everybody for their help, especially those that told me the 'no apxs' messages were ignorable, and suggested I get the bleeding-edge version. That got me to realize that the DO_PREP changes mod_perl were making to apache were being lost when I did my reconfigures, and boom! Compilation! Thanks again, Kenneth
