greetings,
i'm hoping that someone out there can help me out with my AuthTicket
troubles.
first, i require a simple way to authenticate and authorize users for
a little intranet site. from what i could find, AuthTicket looks like
the best way to do this (is there something better?). PageKit also
looks nice, but it's probably overkill for what i need.
i've installed AuthTicket onto a FreeBSD 4.4 box running Apache.
here is a snippet from the http error log.

here is the relevant portion of my httpd.conf file:

i've set up a postgresql database with the appropriate tables and
permissios. this script can access this database without any difficulty:
---snip---
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
my $dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:Pg:dbname=foodb', 'foouser', 'foopasswd')
or die "couldn't connect: " . DBI->errstr;
$dbh->disconnect;
---snip---
when i try to access the 'authorized/' portion of the site i get the
login page. when i submit a blank login form, i get the above httpd
error log. if i fill it in, i also get that error log. at no time am i
prompted to set a cookie (mozilla is set to ask if i want to allow cookies).
another thing to note is that i've got two versions of perl installed.
the original 5.005 which came with freebsd, and an updated one which i
got from CPAN. @INC shows:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
so, i'm hoping that's not the problem.
can anyone help me out with this difficulty?
thanks,
twkonefal
