(raq550) RaQ550-All-Update-0.0.2-15983 RaQ550-All-Security-0.0.1-15787 I know initially there was problems with .htaccess and alike, did SUN re-release the patches, so I dont bust a production box? Thanks Dave _______________________________________________ Dave, I installed the "15983". I ran into that "mod_auth_pam" problem. But, I fixed it. I posted the fix on the user's list, I will include it with this email. I can run the 15787 one, and let the list know if it brakes my box. I run a semi-production unit, so I do not care if it goes down for periods of times. ~Brian How you can test to see if it messes you up: CLI to your server cd /home/sites/<yoursite>/web mkdir private cd private 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 Then try via the web to authenticate. You can either use "admin" / <password> or your <siteadmin> / <password> If you can authenticate, you are fine ... if it says "Internal Server Error" or something like that, apply the patch! Enjoy! ~Brian N. Smith _________________________________________________ The mysterious .htaccess fix: Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Very first line, (after the upgrade) should read like this: LoadModule pam_external_auth_module modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so Now, the problem is the placement of the LoadModule ... If you look down your screen you will see "ClearModuleList". Oh wait, then you just whipped out what you loaded. That is NOT good!!!! The fix? Well, remove the "LoadModule pam_external_auth_module modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so" from the very first line, and then look down a ways, you should see that same line again, but with a comment. So, just uncomment that line out ...
restart apache. ***** NOTICE ****** If you haven't seen, the Cobalt 550 uses PAM authentication for it's users. They are stored in a database. If you remove the "AuthPAM_Enabled on", you will NOT be able to authenticate against the system. Do not remove anything that references "AuthPAM", you could have an adverse reaction, and actually cause some damage somewhere, somehow ...
