If I may butt in here....
This is PR 2809.
>> The problem is not Apache. It is the gdbm library (1.7.3).
This is not correct.
I am having the same problem (Apache 1.3.3). auth_dbm *did* work
when I first tested it, but now fails. I am now building in mod_perl,
which I was not doing previously.
My suspicion is that, since I include GDB< with perl, the addition of
-lgdm to the compile options is having a detrimental affect.
NOTE: That I am having exactly the same probelm on both Solaris2.6
and irix6.2 systems. The Apache server succesfully opens the .pag file,
reads from it, *then* reports "File not found" (checked with truss and
par respectively).
>> >Fix:
>> 1. Recompile gdbm library and comment out the ".pag" and ".dir" extensions.
Thsi is not a fix. I am not using gdbm (at least I shouldn't be). I
*should* be using ndbm (and certainly was when I first tested it, as I
made my test files with makedbm - they still have the YP stamps in
them).
