mod_authn_dbd - internal server error after certain idle time

[Don Harden <ha...@gsu.edu>]

Hello,

Just a short note concerning mod_dbd and mod_authn_dbd in Apache 2.2.6 and 
authentication against  MySQL (5.0.45-0).  A fresh compile of Apache 2.2.6 
resulted in the Internal Errors as described in thread 940 in July 2007 with 
Apache 2.2.4.   

Recompiling 2.2.6 with the following updates and patches fixes the problem and 
I now have a persistent connection:
apr_dbd_mysql.c  
	download on September 24, 2007 (not sure when it was last updated)

mod_dbd.c 
	from 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/database/mod_dbd.c?revision=553563

patches to apr_reslist.h and apr_reslist.c 
	from http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42841


Since the recompile I have running for about 3 1/2 days with no problems.

Thanks to those who worked on resolving dropped connections to MySQL.
Don
