I tried to add the auth_mod_auth (3.0.0) module to my Slackware 13 (apache 2.2 & MySQL 5.0) system.

I ran the usual command line for apxs (as mention in the BUILD file)

apxs -c -L/usr/lib/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql -lmysqlclient -lm -lz mod_auth_mysql.c

but I got the following error:

Seems like the mysql library do not match what the code expect. I looked around and it seems to be the last available version of the module although is getting old (june 2005).

Has anyone made it work with a similar setup? I've been tweaking around for half a day without any success :-(

At a quick glance this kind of error could be triggered by a missing dependency (did you check that you had all the required stuff installed?), an out-of-date dependency (hopefully not the case if that's indeed the latest available module) or a misconfiguration (I've never compiled an Apache module, is there anything like ./configure?). Is that your whole compilation log, or did you cut earlier output? The whole transcript of your session from when you unpacked might help. – Gilles Feb 20 '11 at 23:07
Gilles, compiling a apache module is not the traditional "configure, make & make install". All go thru apxs command line who call gcc and the libtool. The whole output of the command is show up there! I have done this before but it was with apache 1.x and MySQL 3.x (long time ago!). I pretty sure that it have something to do with MySQL 5.0 because the doc from source forge speak about 4.1 and in 2005, MySQL 5.0 was not really around. – Steve S. Feb 20 '11 at 23:49
Someone report the exact same problem mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200512.mbox/… but no answer there! – Steve S. Feb 21 '11 at 0:23

I found an answer here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=192391

And it works! :-)

It changes APR_XtOffsetOf to APR_OFFSETOF in the .c file.

Patch which solves the problem:

Addendum : Modify also this line #define STRCAT ap_pstrcat for #define STRCAT apr_pstrcat, otherwise your module will not load (looking for a missing ap_pstrcat symbol, the 1.3 API version instead of the 2.0 version) – Steve S. Feb 21 '11 at 3:07
Addendum 2 : If you compiled, installed and start your apache server and it still doesn't work then try this line in your *.conf ou .htaccess file : AuthBasicAuthoritative Off. Since Apache 2.2 all the auth stuff changed a lot!!! – Steve S. Feb 22 '11 at 4:33
