[users@httpd] RHEL 4 with Apache 2.0.52 and mod_auth

Hello,

I am running the laster RHEL 4 with Apache 2.0.52 and am having some
strange problems with apache and mod_auth.

In my httpd.conf file I have setup the following:

<Directory "/home/blahblah/share">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

and in the "share" directory I have created a .htaccess file containing:

--snip--
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthAuthoritative On
AuthUserFile /home/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
--snip--

Now the web page provides a user login popup but no matter what I have I
can not login. I have removed and created the users in my htpasswd.users
file a few times.

The apache error_log shows:
[Wed Mar 16 12:17:27 2005] [error] [client IP] MySQL ERROR: Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[Wed Mar 16 12:17:27 2005] [error] [client IP] MySQL user testadmin not
found: /share/


Why is it using and looking for a mysql connection ?

Thanks.

Michael.

This is a bug in the version of mod_auth_mysql used in RHEL4.  To 
workaround simply:

rpm --erase mod_auth_mysql

if you're not using that module.

What modules are you using with apache?  (Check your LoadModule lines
and the output of httpd -l.)  Apache certainly won't use a mysql
database for auth in its default configuration.
