Re: [cobalt-users] database based .htaccess authentication

Hello,
	I would really appreciate some advice.  I am trying to use .htaccess to
do authentication using a MySQL database.  I have looked at several
options but have ran into walls with all of them.  I am working on a
Raq4 right now but would like my project to be compatible with all (3-4
I guess, may 2 also) versions of the Raqs.  I have looked at
Apache::AuthDBI....needs mod_perl...which breaks raqs.   I looked at
mod_mysql_auth which will not compile on a my raqs. I really don't know
which way to go with this at this point. I was really hoping someone
else has already been through this and could give me some advice. I
should have just used PHP or something :) Anyway any advice would be
much appreciated.

Thank You
Ryan


Hi Ryan,
We have mod_auth_mysql working on a couple of RaQ4s. Looking at the development machine, I see we have two versions of the source, but from the directives it looks like we're using 2.20 from mysql.com.
IIRC, the apxs stuff on the RaQ basically works, but puts the wrong location in the directives it writes into httpd.conf, so you wind up having to go in and hand-edit the file. 

Regards,
