Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : MOD Auth MySQL on Raq 550! can't install it! :///

[Winddancer]

Hi all,

I am really despereate!!!!
Quite some time ago I installed the mod auth mysql module (needed to verify users with the .htaccess file through the mysql DB) on a RAQ4.

Now I want to install this module on a Raq550.

I downloaded the same package I was using on the RAQ4 and tried to configure it. (its the general LINUX distribution!)

But when I run configure on the module like this:

sh ./configure --with-mysql=/var/lib/mysql/ --with-apache=/usr/lib/apache


I receive the error:

configure: error: Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/lib/apache/

There is really no httpd.h !!!

Someone gave me the hint that I should add this include dir to the configure command.

--includedir=/usr/local/apache

BUT: the dir /usr/local/apache doesn't exist on the RAQ550. I could locate the httpd.h at:

/usr/include/apache


Here is what I get when I try the configure file with the statements mentioned above:

[root modauthmysql]# sh ./configure --with-mysql=/var/lib/mysql/ --with-apache=/usr/lib/apache/ --includedir=/usr/include/apache/

configure: error: Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/lib/apache/

I really need this module to get installed! If anyone has experience with this module or any idea what the hell I am doing wrong, PLEASE let me know!!!!!

Thanks

Sven

* UPDATE *
I just downloaded the latest mod auth mysql 2.2 from mysql.com. I thought this might help, but I still face the same problem! ://

another update:

in the old installation on a previous server I used these variables to configure the module:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/


Now I don't even know what APXS is, but as I remember this was something a user advised me to try who had installed that module on a RAQ3.

Anyway. When I now run make I receive the error message that the file libauth_mysql.so is missing and that it should be copied to /usr/lib/apache/libauth_mysql.so

furthermore there are other changes which should be made:

In order to proceed, please edit the Apache Configuration file: |

| |

| 1. Add '-lmysqlclient' to the EXTRA_LIBS= line

| 2. Add '-L/usr/local/lib/mysql' to the EXTRA_LFLAGS= line

| 3. Add '-I/usr/local/include/mysql' to the EXTRA_CFLAGS= line

| 4. At the bottom of the file, add the line: |

| |

| Module auth_mysql_module mod_auth_mysql.o |

| |

| To recompile Apache and enable the new module, run the Apache |

| Configure script and then make.

None of the lines 1-3 can be found in the http.conf.
Or where else can I find these lines?

Can anyone give me a hint on this?

best regards

Sven

That is for re-building Apache from source. Not in config files of the webserver, in the compiler config file.
