How to install mod_auth_mysql?

[anton_latvia]

Hi,
I am trying to install mod_auth_mysql on my box. But rpm -Uvh says "webserver is needed by mod_auth_mysql-1.11-1". So I guess there should be some CPanel's script to do this. May be someone could share his/her ideas, please?..

Without having looked at the package, best bet it to compile from source using apxs.

I know this is vague, but I do not have time to read and write a howto for it right now.

I just wrote a tutorial on installing it from source. Check out my article on installing it here: http://www.webhostgear.com/215.html

Hey ramprage,
Thanks for the tutorials

I tried following your mod_auth_mysql and everything seemed to go ok.
However, when I view a phpinfo page there is no reference to it.

Any ideas what to look for?

I am running cpanel with
php 4.3.11
phpsuexec

Thanks for your time!

mod_auth_mysql works in conjunction with HTTP authentication (or so I guess as its an Apache module, and from looking at the docs for it).

With phpsuexec enabled, you can't use HTTP authentication in PHP - this means that mod_auth_mysql wouldn't be of any use to you anyway.

As to why it doesn't show in the output of phpinfo() - you need to be running PHP in CLI mode (as an Apache module) for any PHP-related Apache modules to have any effect on PHP.
