Thread: Apache+Postgresql (mod_auth_pgsql)

hi,

    i have an apache private directory and i would like to manage the
user&pass from a postgresql database. i think there is something like
mod_auth_pgsql but i do not know how can i use it. (i do not have mysql)

    this is the current configuration:

<Directory "/www/privado">
AuthName "ZONA RESTRINGIDA"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /www/passwd.file
# AuthGroupFile /usr/local/apache/group.web
require valid-user
Options FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride Options AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ErrorDocument 401 /error.htm
ErrorDocument 403 /error.htm
ErrorDocument 404 /www/error.htm
</Directory>

Firstly, how can i change this configuration in orden to allow
connections to a database to verify user&password. How many fields could

the database have? (login,pass,city,....)
Secondly, how can i have stadistics of how many times an users has got
into the privated directory. (any suggestion) Perhaps could be a script
to write into the database. ?¿?
Thirdly, Any suggestions will be pleased,

thanks in advance,

marcos

for this, you can use the standard Apache logfiles, if you don't need it
inside the Database.


For auth, I guess there are docs on the apache website. There is also an
mod_perl module for general DBI authentication, see
