I've been struggling with this in a brand new 8.10 server myself that I just setup yesterday. Not sure how or why, but i got this magic incantation to work (do note however, I'm storing the passwords in plaintext in mySQL):
<Directory /home/dae51d/public_html/examples/crimson> AuthName "CRiMson -- use: test/test1234" AuthType Basic require valid-user AuthUserFile /dev/null AuthBasicAuthoritative Off # http://www.daevid.com/server-info#mod_auth_mysql.c Auth_MYSQL On Auth_MySQL_Host localhost Auth_MySQL_User crimson_user Auth_MySQL_Password crimson_password Auth_MySQL_DB crimson_database Auth_MySQL_Authoritative On Auth_MySQL_Password_Table rep_table Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types Plaintext MySQL Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords Off Auth_MySQL_Empty_Passwords Off Auth_MySQL_Username_Field rep_login Auth_MySQL_Password_Field rep_password </Directory> But what I don't understand is when I do this one: <Directory /home/reviewit/public_html/admin> Options All +Includes AllowOverride None AuthName "SYMCELL Administration" AuthType Basic require valid-user AuthUserFile /dev/null AuthBasicAuthoritative Off # http://www.daevid.com/server-info#mod_auth_mysql.c Auth_MYSQL On Auth_MySQL_Host localhost Auth_MySQL_User reviewit_user Auth_MySQL_Password reviewit_pass Auth_MySQL_DB reviewit_db Auth_MySQL_Authoritative On Auth_MySQL_Password_Table users Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types SHA1Sum Auth_MySQL_Encrypted_Passwords On Auth_MySQL_Empty_Passwords Off Auth_MySQL_Username_Field username Auth_MySQL_Password_Field password # Auth_MySQL_Where " type = 'Admin' AND enabled = 1 " Auth_MySQL_Where " enabled = 1 " </Directory> Everything works except for the Auth_MySQL_Where part which says: [Tue Feb 10 18:26:34 2009] [error] Query call failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'type = "Admin" AND enabled = 1' at line 1 (1064) But removing the " type = 'Admin'" then it works. I've tried reversing the quotes. without any " on the ends. \'Admin\' and I can't figure out the magic incantation. Also, my mod_auth_mysql.c shows Auth_MySQL_Where as the directive, but this page (http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/CONFIGURE) shows AuthMySQLUserCondition and NO Auth_MySQL_Where... Come on man! it's bad enough the directives keep changing slightly with underscores and such with each version but now you don't even have the same directive names. Is this project dead? it's v3.0.0 was on 2005-6-22 -- that's 3.5 YEARS ago! What pisses me off more is that this USED to work with an older version of mod_auth_mysql I had on my Gentoo box which was v3.0.0. And there is no current documentation that I've found for the current apt-get version... # dpkg -s libapache2-mod-auth-mysql Package: libapache2-mod-auth-mysql Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: web Installed-Size: 108 Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: i386 Source: mod-auth-mysql Version: 4.3.9-9 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.27-1), apache2.2-common (>= 2.2.3-3) Description: Apache 2 module for MySQL authentication A module for the Apache 2 web server which enables HTTP authentication against information stored in a MySQL database.
