apache2 and mod_auth_dbm

[thesheff17]

I'm trying to get apache2 working with mod_auth_dbm and .htaccess files.
I can get it working fine without the DBM stuff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Compile Parameters:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --with-mpm=prefork --enable-so --enable-access --enable-auth-dbm --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl/ --disable-charset-lite --disable-include --disable-env --disable-setenvif --disable-status --disable-autoindex --disable-asis --disable-cgi --disable-negotiation --disable-imap --disable-actions --disable-userdir --disable-alias

This is the error I'm getting now
[Mon Sep 04 11:06:35 2006] [alert] [client 172.25.231.241] /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/secure/.htaccess: Invalid command ]
'AuthDBMUserFile', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

.htaccess Files:

Even though This Works Fine:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/thesheff17/thesheff172
#AuthGroupFile /www/passwords/group.file
Require valid-user


But This Does Not:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthDBMUserFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/thesheff17/thesheff17
Require valid-user

try this

1. Make sure that the AuthDBMUserFile is stored outside the document tree of the web-server; do not put it in the directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients will be able to download the AuthDBMUserFile.

2. use FastCgiAuthorizer
<Directory htdocs/protected>
AuthType Basic
AuthName ProtectedRealm
AuthDBMUserFile conf/authentication-database
FastCgiAuthorizer fcgi-bin/authorizer
</Directory>
