Re: [GENERAL] Apache authorization using postgres

2010-05-25 Thread John Gage
I really like the idea of using postgres, as opposed to the file  
system, to store user names and passwords for http authorization on  
apache.  It is a very good fit and facilitates data collection, etc.


On the other hand, there is no dichotomy, because what is stored in a  
file can also be stored in postgres.


Ultimately, I increasingly like to push everything I can back into SQL  
on postgres.  Make the perl cgi routines as simple as possible and  
have the intelligence in postgres.


Yes, MacOSX 10.5.

Thanks,

John

Debian has it it a precompiled binary package.
Blastwave is/was a solaris thing AFAICT
And I guessing you want it for apple.

First you need to make sure that the blastwave package for apache  
development is on your machine.


Use the blastwave command: pkg-get -i apache2_devel This gives you the  
headers you are missing from the apache binary install (as well as  
loading the libtool etc that the apxs command will use.


Now go to http://www.giuseppetanzilli.it/mod_auth_pgsql2/ and download  
the source. I put it in /Documents/mod_auth_pgsql2/mod_auth_pgsql-2.0.3
