I'm installing Apache 2.2.3 under OS X 10.4.8 on a PPC-based machine. I have some constraints on file placement, so I'm compiling it using instructions at <http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/installing-apache-on-mac-os-x/>. The instructions make sense, and the compile seems to go fine. However, when I try to start httpd, I get the following error message pair (repeatedly) in error.log:

[Sat Oct 28 08:57:29 2006] [crit] (70023)This function has not been implemented on this platform: DBD: driver for [DBDriver unset] not available [Sat Oct 28 08:57:29 2006] [crit] (70023)This function has not been implemented on this platform: DBD: failed to initialise

After a whole lotta searching, I've deduced the basic problem: mod_dbd ("Manages SQL database connections") is complaining that it hasn't had its driver set using DBDriver. But! I didn't ask to use mod_dbd, and (I think) don't want to use mod_dbd. My only authentication is simple stuff like

AuthUserFile /Library/Apache2/conf/webusers2
AuthGroupFile /Library/Apache2/conf/webgroups2
AuthName "My Development Server 2"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

which (I think) shouldn't use SQL at all. I tried commenting out all my authentication, but I still get one pair of error messages. I then tried inserting "DBDriver mysql", since I have mysql installed (compiled with shared libraries as described on the above-referenced page), but then get a "DBD: No driver for mysql" printed to stderr. Same problem if I try "DBDriver sqlite".

So, my questions:

- Must I provide Apache 2.2 with a SQL driver for basic authentication, or even for authentication-free use?

- How can I get a list of the SQL drivers available to Apache?

- How can I give Apache 2.2 what it wants?

- Should I instead be trying the 2.0 branch, since I don't need most/all of the 2.2 enhancements (cache, authentication, etc)?


Thanks,
Dan
