I spoke to my webhost and they said they won't support mod_auth_mysql unless they can find a version that will work as a DSO (a module that can be loaded at run time into the web server). They were having trouble setting up my_auth_mysql so that it didn't just use one global database, so that each user could use it independantly.

Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice?

Its a DSO as standard now

just tell them to download the latest version from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...lease_id=44678

gunzip it then untar it

go into mod_auth_mysql-3.2 open Makefile and change the axps and mysql paths respecitvely and then save. type make and then your done

[dirgotronix]

What is axps, and how do I come about having it? ran an updatedb;locate axps with no results.

Running Debian 2.2.18pre21 (potato) with apache 1.3.9 and mysql 3.23.36, php 4.0.3pl1

I'd like to install this, couldn't find anything in apt regarding mod_auth_mysql, and when I grabbed the source at sourceforge, there was no configure, just a makefile, and I'm not too sure as how to go about modifying that.

[Scott MacVicar]

try whereis apxs

and type
pico Makefile to open it and you should be able to edit it, you will need to edit the paths for MySQL and apxs to whatever, probably
/usr/sbin/apxs

i typed it wrong in my post, my bad :stupid:

[dirgotronix]

No apxs, no axps, nothing. Not with locate, not with whereis. apt-get install axps or apxs returns no packages.

and pico? use vi like a man.

[dirgotronix]

Anyone know where I can get axps or apxs or whatever? From my assumption it comes with apache, but it's nowhere to be found on my system.

[Virix]

Look in /usr/local/apache/bin
or /etc/httpd/bin

[dirgotronix]

argh, I've already pointed out that it is not on my system. where do I download it.
