[cobalt-users] Solution htaccess problem raq550 after update

["Bas van Ecke" <bas.vanecke@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Like others, we have had the same problem that after the latest update,
.htaccess did not function well. At least not if you're using the PAM
authentication. This is the case eg in Webalizer but I use it as well in
my own htaccess files.

The solution which has been posted on "the other list" has proven to work
(for me).

During the update the httpd.conf is changed.
Another directive has been added: ClearModuleList
This causes the problem because the LoadModule pam_external_auth_module
modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so is defined on top of the page.

So, the solution is to move this to beneath the ClearModuleList and !!
beneath the AddModule mod_so.c part.

Then just reload apache ( /etc/init.d/httpd reload )

This was the solution of Sun support in the Netherlands.

Questions rise why Sun hasn't this made public by themselves?
Or have I been missing it ( in which case I apoligize for posting things
double )?

Kind regards, Bas
