We've all had to start somewhere. The spirit of open source is global support.
Perhaps you might like to check the following from the mod_perl user guide.

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.html#Invalid_command__PerlHandler____

Reference is to httpd.conf file but in your case it's the .htaccess file.

Good luck

Steve,

  I have no objection to replying to the mod_perl list.  I have no idea what is wrong & I am so new at all of this that the more people who might have an idea the better.

  I am running Apache 1.3.22 and mod_perl 1.21 on a Sun Solaris 2.6 machine.  I'm sure Apache and mod_perl are running as I can successfully grab that out of $ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE}.  I'm using perl 5.005_03.

  I am trying use a .htaccess file to allow NT Authenitcation on a directory.  However, I am getting a server error

  > Syntax error on line 6 of /web/content/askLucent/password-reset/.htaccess:
      > Invalid command 'PerlAuthenHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
      > module not included in the server configuration

Here are the contents of my .htaccess file

<Limit GET POST>
AuthName "NT Domain\Login and Password"
AuthType Basic
#PerlSetVar NT_Controllers 'na02il0015dc00:na02il0015dc01'
PerlSetVar NT_Controllers 'na02il0015dc04:na02il0015dc01:NA02IL0015DC02'
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenN2
require valid-user
</Limit>

I did build mod_perl with EVERYTHING=1 and did a make install and stopped & restarted Apache.  Printing out the SERVER_SOFTWARE environment variable it shows 'Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21'.  What else can I do to see if mod_perl works?

No idea as yet.  What operating system are you building on?  What is the
command line you are using?  Does mod_perl work OK other than the
authentication and authorisation?

Also, do you mind if we also send replies to the mod_perl list? I don't
know everything, and someone is more likely to spot any errors that I
might make.
