The problem was many and varied. For a start a Debian upgrade some time ago
had added the following lines to my httpd conf file:

Include /etc/apache-perl/modules.conf
Include /etc/apache/modules.conf
Mistake!: I'm running apache-perl and not apache and it was including two
module.conf files which were slightly different. Thats why I was getting
errors like "module config_log_module is already loaded, skipping"
I commented out the include for /etc/apache/modules.conf and restarted
apache-perl.
Out of curiousity, why are you running apache-perl and not apache with
mod_perl? I've never seen the attraction, myself (or for apache-ssl,
either). I've heard speed mentioned, but I've never seen any stats to
support it, so I put it in the Gentoo bucket <grin>.
Actually I find it all very confusing sometimes. I have three machines
and what I have on them is the following Debian packages:
An Athlon A Laptop A Virtual Server
--------- -------- ----------------
apache-perl apache apache-perl
libapache-mod-perl libapache-mod-perl libapache-mod-perl
(In Debian libapache-mod-perl is a prerequisite for apache-perl.)
I also needed to manually add "LoadModule auth_mysql_module
/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_auth_mysql.so"
to the modules.conf file cause for some reason "/usr/sbin/apache-modconf
apache-perl" updated modules.conf but didn't add the required line.
A lack of properly formed -info file would cause apache-modconf to not see
the module, I believe.
The info file looked ok and it came with the libapache-mod-perl package.
Later I'll have a closer look at it on each of the three machines.
But now it seems the interface has changed. Even Crypt has changed to
Encrypted!
I think you were using a non-Debian-packaged edition of mod-auth-mysql.
3.2-1 (the version in Woody) doesn't have the AMCryptedPasswords option
(Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords is the equivalent).
Correct. I started off with that a few years ago - I was compiled and
added in manually. At some time it got replaced with the Debian package.
There's lots of
different mod-auth-mysql modules out there, each with New! and Interesting!
configuration directives, and mod-auth-mysql has a tortured and fractured
history overall. Feed me beer at a Spice Boys meet and I'll give you the
whole sorry, bitter tale.
Okies - that would be interesting. I didn't realise that there were more
than one. That means I should see what one is in the Debian package....
Package: libapache-mod-auth-mysql
Maintainer: Matthew Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 4.3.9-2
Oh ! Matthew Palmer :-)
There is a mod_auth_mysql at http://sourceforge.net/projects/modauthmysql
Originally by Vivek Kheraby and maintained there by
Jerry Stuckle, Matthew Hodgson & Samuel Brauer
Where is the Debian one sourced from Matt ?
(apt-cache show libapache-mod-auth-mysql | grep ^Maintainer <grin>)
Yeah I see, :-)
