RE: [cobalt-developers] latest patch? what's the word?



Brian,

I set up an account with front page extension, and select a password.

Save, and then try to use Front Page to log in using webmaster as the username and the password I just created. No entry.

Password just doesn't take. I've deleted the site, started over, reset the password and now, applied the patch. No luck.

I hate front page with a passion. But some of my clients don't.

Arghhh.

Thanks
Tom

Hi Brian,

Well I just installed it and it didn't seem to break anything, although it
still didn't fix the front page problem I have.

What would I be noticing if it did break something with this LoadModule
pam_external_auth_module modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so

Thanks
Tom

Tom,

Just for my curiosity .. what Front Page problems were you having?
I know I never really had issues with the Raq4, but I do NOT have
FP 2002, so I do not know if my FP2000 will work with the Raq550.
Do u know?

How to see the problem ...

Go into your main site.

cd /home/sites/www.somesite.com/web
mkdir protect_dir
cd protect_dir
echo '#Access file' > .htaccess
echo order allow,deny >> .htaccess
echo allow from all >> .htaccess
echo require group site2 >> .htaccess
echo Authname WebStats >> .htaccess
echo Authtype Basic >> .htaccess
echo AuthAuthoritative off >> .htaccess
echo AuthPAM_Enabled on >> .htaccess

Using a web browser, browse to it:  http://www.somesite.com/protect_dir

Then login in with either 1) admin/password or 2) siteadmin-name/password.

If it doesn't work, apply my fix.  If it works ... I am jealous! :)

.htaccess seems to break ... So, if you are using Webalizer
[from pkgmaster.com] or anything else that uses it ... the Raq 550
uses AuthPAM because it stores user names inside of a PAM DB.

Thanks,

Brian
