auth mysql and authuserfile

Hi,
I've just gotten mod_auth_mysql (2.20) working on our apache server (1.3.14) and its working fine except:
The virtual hosts that are still configured to use AuthUserFile are also trying to access the mysql database to authenticate users, which causes an internal server error because I am not using the default table names.

In the httpd.conf file I am using the Auth_MySQL_General_DB directive and thought it might have something to do with that? Should I only specify the Database directive inside a virtual host? or is there another solution to this problem.

Thanks,
Greg.

hi,
I tried the Auth_MySQL_Authoritative off directive in the main server part of the configuration file and then ran

Code:

apachectl configtest

Which came back saying i couldn't put it there. So i decided to try the Auth_MYSQL off directive instead and put it in the <Directory> sections of my virtual hosts where i wanted to continue using the AuthUserFile. This seems to have worked and i now have a mix of AuthUserFile and Auth_MySQL authentication.

Thanks,
Greg.
