Hi,

I have tried to install 1.4beta4 from scratch. Of course, I carefully
saved everything from my 1.4beta3 installation (which proved wise,
'cause I have already reverted back).

I am talking about the 1.4beta4 source tarball, not any cvs version.

These are my findings:

1.)

Apparently, it is not possible to get things working when libmidgard was
compiled without sitegroups enabled, because otherwise I got that
(already reported) message about the undefined symbol
mgd_delete_sitegroups when apache tries to load libphp3.so. I played a
bit around and recompiled php3 after setting

#define MIDGARD_SITEGROUPS 0

in config.h. I recompiled and installed php3 from a clean source tree
and tried to start apache again. This time, the linker complained about
_another_ missing symbol: mgd_sitegroups.

2.)

Ok, I deleted everything and compiled libmidgard with sitegroups
enabled. Then I compiled mod_midgard and libphp3 again from scratch and
installed them. This time, apache could be started w/o without any
barfing. I know that the authentication for the root page has changed,
but I don't know if that already applies to the 1.4beta4 source tarball.
Anyway, if the section

<Files
midgard-root.php3>                                                       
require
valid-user                                                              
AuthName
Midgard                                                                
AuthType
Basic                                                                  
</Files>

is present in httpd.conf, then public midgard pages work but I keep
getting "authentication failed, retry?" and no error messegaes in the
log (loglevel debug). I guess, that apache and midgard are in a clich
here.

Now, if I comment out the section above from httpd.conf and restart
apache, then no midgard pages work and the error log says:

Midgard: MidgardRootFile unprotected

After all, I didn't succeed in installing beta4 and went back to
1.4beta3, which is a pity, because I want to experiment with code
snippets.
