Hello, For the past few days, I've been migrating a bunch of apache-1.3.41 vhosts to apache-2.2.8 (on the same machine, 6.3-RELEASE i386). Many of directories are protected with AuthType directives and I want to reuse the existing .dat files. After working successfully for more than a day with the original .dat files, apache-2.2.8 suddenly decides that format is not supported. Here's what the error log says: This function has not been implemented on this platform: could not open dbm (type DB) auth file: /usr/local/etc/apache22/auth/admin-passwords.dat I'm fairly certain that the beginning of the error messages coincided with the first modifications I made to the .dat files after copying them from /usr/local/etc/apache to /usr/local/etc/apache22. The syntax I used to modify the files were: dbmmanage admin-groups.dat add newAdminUser newAdminGroup dbmmanage admin-passwords.dat adduser newAdminUser I compiled apache-2.2.8 with the following options: make -DWITH_BDB -DWITH_BDB_BASE And have the following directives in the conf file: AuthType Basic AuthName "Authorized Users" AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMType DB AuthDBMUserFile etc/apache22/auth/admin-passwords.dat AuthDBMGroupFile etc/apache22/auth/admin-groups.dat require group newAdminGroup In the apache-1.3.41 httpd.conf file, I used: AuthName "Authorized Users" AuthType Basic AuthDBUserFile /usr/local/etc/apache/admin-passwords.dat AuthDBGroupFile /usr/local/etc/apache/admin-groups.dat require group newAdminGroup This change in apache's behavior is very strange indeed. I tried copying the original .dat files and restarting apache, but to no avail. I also must admit that I'm a little confused between AuthDBM/AuthDB and and all the DBM/BDB options in FreeBSD's Make infrastructure Many thanks for your consideration and assistance. -- Regards, Doug
