Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-i386->freebsd-ports-bugs Reassign to the ports team for investigation. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->apache over to maintainer State Changed From-To: open->analyzed During the rewrite / cleanup of the www/apache22 port I removed all parts which where needed to build apr/apr-util, since they are not apache httpd related. The lines do no longer exist (they where a leftover from years ago where the apachex port was repocopied to apache22. The bundled apr-util and the port devel/apr? does not support building db support against the db185 version which is included in the FreeBSD libc, so there is no way to have support for db files which are created with apache13. Even this answer is not the one you expect I have to say sorry. I will close the pr. State Changed From-To: analyzed->closed devel/apr1 can not build d185 support against libc. apache22 takes the db information from apu-util so the options WITH_DBM=bdb, WITH_BDB_BASE=yes where useless and a false suggestion. When did this change? It absolutely wasn't broken since apache 1.3. I was happily using the WITH_BDB_BASE settings with apache 2.0 and then 2.2 right up until I tried to recompile for 2.2.21. So it was broken between 2.2.17 and 2.2.21. Finally, the dbmmanage which ships with apache only works with the built in db, so clearly it is intended to work. Something was broken in the port. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. |
There are settings described in ports UPDATING file and implemented in Makefile.modules to build apache with the base bdb 1.85 libraries. Using these settings produces an apache which cannot authenticate against bdb 1.85 files. dbmmanage /path/to/file view/adduser/delete/etc works fine file /path/to/file /path/to/file: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order) Accessing from the web server always returns a 500 error with the following in the error log: (2)No such file or directory: could not open dbm (type default) auth file: /path/to/passwd.dat I've recompiled apr and apache with a variety of different options, and nothing works. apr without any databases doesn't work. apr with BDB doesn't work, etc. My options for apache have remained the same: APACHE_PORT=www/apache22 WITH_DBM=bdb WITH_BDB_BASE=yes Running a ktrace shows that even though it is built this way, it continues to search for a DBM file. # kdump |grep /passwd 724 httpd NAMI "/path/to/passwd.dat.dir" Fix: No clue. How-To-Repeat: /etc/make.conf: APACHE_PORT=www/apache22 WITH_DBM=bdb WITH_BDB_BASE=yes cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 make make install Create a DB 1.85 authentication file like so: jrhett:$1$JJueifadJ$jjp1FrHQ1OLnGwpYc3Egr1:admin file /path/to/passwd.dat /path/to/passwd.dat: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order) Edit the httpd.conf like so: <Directory /> AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMType default AuthDBMUserFile /path/to/passwd.dat AuthDBMGroupFile /pathto/passwd.dat </Directory>
