[I tried sending this to comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix , but got no
reply. Can anybody suggest a way to go?]
I am upgrading a system from Mandrake 7.0/apache 1.3.9(?) to Mandrake
8.2/apache 1.3.23 (with fixes).
I am having problems accessing a DBM paswords file from an existing
web application.
I have an existing application that saves password in .db files. In
the .htaccess files the directives AuthDBM{User|Group}File:
AuthDBMUserFile [PATH]/user_pass
in the directory [PATH] I have:
user_pass.db
$ file user_pass.db
user_pass.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order)
Mandrake's apache comes with mod_auth_dbm disabled by default (unlike
most other modules). After adding it and rebuilding apache, I am still
unable to access the file. I get the following cryptic error message:
(-30989)Unknown error 4294936307: could not open dbm auth file
Note that this is not the error "file does not exist" (which happns if
I move the .db file to a different place).
I managed to view its content with dbmmanage, but first I had to
change the the databases order line. I left there only NDBM.
Currently using a different format is not feasable, as it would
require me to change the application. I am not sure exactly where it
writes to the passwords file, and don't intend to find out I forgot a
place.
Where can I go next?
