apache 2.2 instructions

[alan birtles]

After much fiddling i have managed to get the module to work with apache 2.2. To help others here are the steps i took:
1. patch mod_auth_mysql.c, i used the patch from http://www.bleb.org/software/mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-apache-2.2.3.patch
2. compile and install as usual
3. if you try using it now you will probably get internal server errors. I found the config has to be quite specific or it wont work:

  AuthUserFile /dev/null
  AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
  AuthName XXXXX
  AuthType Basic
  Require valid-user
  AuthMySQLEnable On
  AuthMySQLHost localhost
  AuthMySQLUser XXXXX
  AuthMySQLPassword XXXXX
  AuthMySQLDB XXXXX
  AuthMySQLUserTable XXXXX
  AuthMySQLNameField XXXXX
  AuthMySQLPasswordField XXXXX
  AuthMySQLPwEncryption none
  AuthMySQLAuthoritative on
  AuthMySQLUserCondition XXXXX
replace "XXXXX" with your own values. I havent tried encryption yet

Hello

I used the patch and it seemed to compile fine, however after adding the loadmodule line to httpd.conf, when trying to start apache I get:

httpd: Syntax error on line 117 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_auth_mysql.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_auth_mysql.so, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_auth_mysql.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Any ideas?

Many thanks
