Hello All,

sorry about the off-topic... somewhat :)

We are going to be implementing the mod_auth_mysql apache module on a client's
site. And I was wondering, when using this module for password protection, and
the appropriate .htaccess file is put into the protected directory, do I need to
specify a specific host, username and password in the httpd.conf in order to
connect to the MySQL database that stores the httpd_auth table with the
usernames and passwords or does the user, where the .htaccess file is located
require access privileges to the database??

IE. user account foobar has an account setup:
/home/foobar/public_html on the server

now "foobar" puts a .htaccess file in their /home/foobar/public_html/members
folder... does "foobar" need to have to access privileges to MySQL database that
stores the httpd_auth table that stores their valid username and passwords?? Or
do I need to specify these paramaters in the httpd.conf with the Auth_MySQL_Info
directive??

Again, my apologise to the list if this is off-topic. any response, please send
directly to me then.

TIA,



Mike(mickalo)Blezien
