[olug] mod_auth_db on redhat

[Adam Haeder]

OK, I forced the uninstall of db1 and db2, so now rpm -qa | grep ^db 
shows:

db3-3.2.9-4
db3-utils-3.2.9-4
db3-devel-3.2.9-4

So now I figure I need to recompile apache so mod_auth_db uses Berkeley DB 
3.x for sure. So I rerun configure and make and it fails because it can't 
find ndbm.h. Aha, this is required by mod_auth_dbm and was in the db1 rpm. 
No worries, I don't need mod_auth_dbm anyway. Remove it from configure and 
run make. I notice that the line "-I/usr/include/db1" no longer shows up 
in the apache make process. I make install, recreate the db auth file, and 
restart apache. Still no luck, same error.

The problem has to be in the format that dbmmanage is writing and the 
format mod_auth_db is trying to read. I wish the "file" command would tell 
me the format of the database! I don't know how to make these tools more 
verbose to tell me what's going on.
