Fantastic - thanks very much! That's exactly what I needed to know. :-)

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] AuthDBMGroupFile in v2.4 - being ignored?
mod_authz_dbm responds to Require dbm-group (and dbm-file-group) only in 2.4
which seems to be a change from 2.2.

Hi,
I am using v2.4.4 of httpd compiled by ApacheLounge (running on Windows
Server 2003, in case that's significant) and am trying to get the Require
group directive working with basic authentication and the dbm provider.
I've uncommented the LoadModule lines relating to mod_authn_dbm and
mod_authz_dbm and my configuration includes the following:
Directory C:/Apache24/site/feedback AuthType Basic AuthName
Secure Area
AuthBasicProvider dbm
AuthDBMUserFile site/data/users
AuthDBMGroupFile site/data/users
Require group admin
/Directory
(Note that site/data is not accessible via the webserver.)
Even though the AuthDBMGroupFile directive is clearly understood (httpd -t
responds Syntax OK and the server starts successfully), it appears to be
ignored or something else is trying to find a group file by other means, as
the error in the log file is:
AH01664: No group file was specified in the configuration
Looking at the mod_authz_dbm documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_authz_dbm.html#authdbmgroupfile
I'm as sure as I can be that I'm using it as described, but it just doesn't
seem to work!
It's probably worth mentioning that in other directories I've used the same
configuration but instead of Require group admin I've used Require
valid-user and that works fine, so site/data/users is OK. I've also tried
commenting out the LoadModule lines relating to mod_authn_file (commenting
out has no effect when using only dbm as a provider) and
mod_authz_groupfile (appears to be required for Require group to work,
since httpd -t complains when it's commented out).
Any pointers would be appreciated on whether my configuration looks incorrect
or what the problem might be.
Many thanks,
Richard
