Subject: Re: mod_auth_msql compile problems

Dirk:

Well, yes the test you suggested:

> gcc -o httpd *.o XXX/lib/libmsq.a

... worked, but the compile still fails at the same place.

What I don't understand is *why* it is failing, since we have proven the
linking to the libraries be OK.

Last night I even tried it with the older msql 2.0, same thing. And with
Apache 1.2.3 - same thing.

I hate to bother you, but I'd really like to know *what is failing* at this
point in the compile:

> mod_auth.o m
> od_auth_msql.o mod_browser.o regex/libregex.a
> mod_auth_msql.o: In function `do_msql_query':
> mod_auth_msql.o(.text+0x1b5): undefined reference to `msqlConnect'
> mod_auth_msql.o(.text+0x1c7): undefined reference to `msqlErrMsg'
> mod_auth_msql.o(.text+0x20e): undefined reference to `msqlSelectDB'
> mod_auth_msql.o(.text+0x21b): undefined reference to `msqlErrMsg'

libregex.a and libmsql.a are there in /usr/local/Hughes/lib (linked in) and
msql.h is also linked - it finds these files OK but still spits out this
error.

I hope this is vaguely interesting for you and I'm not just being a pain in
the neck...

Hi All:

Here's a question that is alluded to in the FAQ, but not specifically
answered:

I run Apache as my web server, under FreeBSD. Both are current versions.

How must I modify my srm.conf file to allow files of type ".msql" to be
automatically parsed by /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/w3-msql ?

I gather from an extensive reading of the docs and FAQ that the AddHandler,
AddType, and Action directives (or some combo) are the way to do this. But
several combinations, e.g.

AddHandler w3-msql .msql
Action w3-msql /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/w3-msql

etc. have all proven unsuccessful.

followed by a save of srm.conf, and a kill -HUP to reload the new config,
have not worked. The .msql files come up in plain text.

I also tried searching some news archives with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

After studying the problem further, it is clear that w3-auth is not
receiving the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION environmental variable from our Netscape
HTTP server. The Apache server patch, apache_1.2.1.patch, clearly is
intended to fix the same problem. I was under the impression that only
Apache HTTP servers exhibited this problem, but I can report that it
affects Netscape servers also. 

(Thus ends my adventure with w3-auth.)
