#1. stop trying to make a bigger write in this post (me, myself hate it)
#2. why not you inspect it first file /etc/httpd/conf.d/auth_mysql.conf on line 6

#3. did you install mysql ? why not try installed all dependencies

check -> rpm -qa|grep mysql
and try to install all the mysql module, if you more interesting why not add like php, open-ssl


hope this help you

I have one on my server that works, so can hopefully tell u what's up with it.

hi sdousley, thanx for ur reply.

# cat auth_mysql.conf | more

#
# mod_auth_mysql can be used to limit access to documents by checking
# data in a MySQL database.
#

LoadModule mysql_auth_module modules/mod_auth_mysql.so

# This will enable user-based MySQL authentication of everything
# within /var/www. You'll need to do the following as the MySQL
# root user beforehand:
#


if i put a comment before "LoadModule" , it works fine.

It's just because you do not have the module "mod_auth_mysql.so" installed in yur system. As provided in a earlier reply, check your installation that you do not miss any files concerning MySQL libraries.

By the way, are you infact planning to use Authentication to your Webserver with MySQL? If not, just remark that line and you are set!

ok, i dont have the auth_mysql.conf file.

it must not be needed to get apache/php to connect to mysql databases as it all works ok here!

Greetings,

Can u mention the MySQL Version you have installed and getting error with??? Basically, its a library error and you have to get the library need to be installed.. So, if you can mention the version of the Httpd, php may be I can be of any help.

Regards

mysql - 4.1.11, php - 4.2.2, apache - 2.0.40 ..............but how can i miss any library since i installed from source ????

You can miss things by not using switches since not everything is default try ./configure --help for a list of switches. But as said if you dont need it just comment the module out of your httpd.conf.

Greetings,

You have to do that only if you have installed the httpd using the Tar Ball if you havent installed httpd using the Tar Ball you wont be requiring it.
