[users@httpd] mod_auth_mysql
Guys,
I'm a noob. I'm setting up a company intranet server using Apache and RH9.0
Server.
I have a tarball for mod_auth_mysql. It says I need to recompile Apache to
activate a module for auth_mysql so that it will work. Then it says add
Auth_MySQL_Info hostname user pass to httpd.conf. If Apache will start with
this entry in the conf file, it worked, if it won't , it didn't.
My question is this: is it necessary to recompile Apache? I have it
running so nice now. If I recompile it, how can I know that I will use the
proper flags and parameters in ./configure? Does RedHat provide some kind
of guide for adding modules to its distro of Apache?
As with most of my experiences with linux, I'm afraid if I go monkeying with
Apache, I won't be able to bring it back short of reinstalling it from the
RH CD's.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry guys, but I'm a real noob.
I've been hunting around the Redhat 9 filesystem all morning. Where is the
httpd binary? Where is the mysql binary? In other words, I have to
configure mod_auth_mysql with the --with-apache=dir and --with-mysql-dir=
directives. What do I put in for these? This is an out of the box install
with no custom installs...
Sorry I'm so hopelessly stupid...

Right - you need to tell the module how to connect to mysql.
