:Synopsis: mod_auth_msql no longer included: old one seems incompatible! : :State-Changed-From-To: open-closed :State-Changed-By: marc :State-Changed-When: Tue Jan 27 21:23:02 PST 1998 :State-Changed-Why: :No, we really don't want to provide it any more for two reasons. :First, it is very restricted and there are a lot more databases :than msql. Second, there is on one around to maintain it or :support it and it is really an outside thing. : :It sounds like you are trying to link an old .o file with :a new binary. Try removing mod_auth_msql.o before :compiling.
If I try compiling it without the msql module it compiles fine. But I DO need that module as I'm sure everyone else using msql does. I downloaded the source (.c) file for mod_auth_msql not the .o file and I let the compiler create the object file along with all the other objects. What it complains about is the msql .a files in .../msql/lib which are linked with the -l option and yes it does complain about it (them) being older. Obviously, if I can't compile with the msql module, I'd have to forget about using Apache's newer versions altogether. Although I don't suppose that concerns the Apache group given its overwhelming edge over others in the number of installed web servers. Moving from msql to another db is a lot more costly and time-consuming.
