            Bug ID: 59558
           Summary: Better error messages and configure hints for Berkeley
                    db
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.20
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Mac OS X 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_authn_dbm
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Hello!

A couple of improvements might be done after this email thread in users@:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/apache/users/458433

1) AH01754 error message should give more hints about what is the problem and
how to correct it. Example:

[Thu May 05 18:12:29.915467 2016] [authn_dbm:error] [pid 9107:tid
140031532377856] (20019)DSO load failed: [client 127.0.0.1:54442] AH01754:
could not open dbm (type DB) auth file:
/home/tixu/httpd-2.4.20-bin/dbm-auth-file

The solution was to add --with-berkeley-db to httpd's configure and install
something like libdb-dev(evel)* on the target system.


2) the option --with-berkeley-db is present in APR's configure help but not in
the httpd's one. Since it is probably passed down as it is to APR when using
--with-included-apr, it might be good to add a note in the httpd's configure
help message.
