Apache 2.4 authentication issue when upgraded from 2.2.x

0 votes
456 views

I have updated my second server from Apache 2.2.x to Apache 2.4.x, first server went fine with no problems. The second server however is having difficulty with a few directories that I had password protected with basic authentication. I am using Apache 2.4.4 as its the current port on FreeBSD, and I am aware of the htpasswd bug in that version, and have confirmed its not the cause of my problem, in fact I tried switching over to digest authentication with the same result.

I have the directives configured as follows.

 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride None
 Require all granted

 Require all denied

 SSLRequireSSL
 Require all denied
 AuthType basic
 AuthBasicProvider file
 AuthName "SARG"
 AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/apache24/data/sarg/.htpasswd
 Require valid-user

I don't get any errors, just a login loop, doesn't matter if I use a valid username password combination or invalid, I can even move the .htpasswd file out of the folder which should cause an error, but no
error ever gets logged even with debugging on.

The only log I get is the entry showing me the get request that was 

marked as 401 unauthenticated:
[09/Jul/2013:09:41:16 -0500] "GET /sarg/index.html HTTP/1.1" 401 381

Does anyone have any clue what I could be missing?

Well, I found it myself, nothing in Apache, the site is behind a Squid reverse proxy, and it wasn't passing the authentication, Apache works now that I fixed that.

Facing issue with building apache for latest version 2.4.33

I am facing the issue while building apache on Window machine with the help of apache source code and got below error 

[ 92%] Building C object CMakeFiles/mod_ssl.dir/modules/ssl/ssl_engine_init.c.obj 
ssl_engine_init.c 
C:apacheBuildapache2.4buildhttpd-2.4.33modulessslssl_engine_init.c(33) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mod_md.h': No such file or directory 
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:PROGRA~2MICROS~2.0VCbinamd64cl.exe' : return code '0x2' 
Stop.

I did some investigation and found that with new version of apache we added a new module called MOD_MD which is experimental basis, I don't know why experimental module added as a dependency and it will cause a build failure,

Can you please help me out to fix above issue?

Is it possible to use PHP 5.2.5 with Apache/2.4.6?

Is it possible to use PHP 5.2.5 with Apache/2.4.6?

I have an application that was written in WAMP5 using PHP 5.2.5, and I am trying to get the application onto a CentOS server and I can't get it to work with 5.4.16.

Are there any good tutorials on using an older version of PHP with Apache?

subversion 1.8.11 on apache 2.4 five times slower than on apache 2.2

I updated my Server from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4 ( windows binaries from apachehaus on Windows Server 2008 x86)

The configuration is the same. Only the necessary syntax changes were made.

I have a test repository with the same content over the past 8 years. Before and after each change of a configuration I measure the time consumed for checking out this repository.

The old configuration with Apache 2.2 and SVN 1.8.11 needed 22 seconds. With Apache 2.4 it lasts about 180 seconds.

Does anybody have an idea what has changed or what has to be changed?

FreebSD jailed Apache 2.4 rewrite/proxy module errors

Just set up a FreeBSD jail to run httpd in it and all works good except these two, rewrite/proxy modules.

These are error logs excerpts:

MOD_REWRITE error: 
[rewrite:crit] [pid 43447] (13)Permission denied: AH00666: mod_rewrite: could not init rewrite_mapr_lock_acquire in child 
MOD_PROXYÂ error: 
[proxy:crit] [pid 43447] (13)Permission denied: AH02479: could not init proxy_mutex in child

Not sure permissions of what are being denied as html in document root is being served just fine when these modules are disabled.

I tried googling but found nothing but rubbish. Please help?
