Upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 (and Apache2 2.4) server I can't use MySQL as htaccess; Before upgrading I was using MySQL as htaccess in the virtual host - worked nicely: <Directory /var/www/html/tilmelding/login> AuthBasicAuthoritative Off AuthUserFile /dev/null # begin auth_mysql configuration AuthMySQL On AuthMySQL_Host localhost AuthMySQL_User ********** AuthMySQL_Password ********* AuthMySQL_DB ********** AuthMySQL_Password_Table user_info AuthMySQL_Username_Field user_name AuthMySQL_Password_Field user_passwd AuthMySQL_Empty_Passwords Off AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types PHP_MD5 AuthMySQL_Authoritative AuthType Basic AuthName "auth_mysql test" Require valid-user After upgrade it didn’t work. In the logfile I got: [:debug] [pid 31333] mod_auth_mysql.c(1578): Constructing password collection query with passfield=[user_passwd], table=[user_info], userfield=[helgoland], where_clause=[] [:debug] [pid 31333] mod_auth_mysql.c(1410): sec->dbh in /var/www/html/tilmelding/login/ is [:debug] [pid 31333] mod_auth_mysql.c(1417): Ordinary query [:debug] [pid 31333] mod_auth_mysql.c(1434): Running query: [SELECT user_passwd FROM user_info WHERE user_name='helgoland'] [:debug] [pid 31333] mod_auth_mysql.c(1522): Checking with PHP_MD5 [:debug] [pid 31333] mod_auth_mysql.c(1524): Auth succeeded [:error] [pid 31333] No requires line available I am able to do the query from CLI and get an MD5 back. What have I missed ?
