Hello Folks,

I have a big problem, I tried to use auth_dbm. I had created a dbm database
(2 Files nutzerpw.dir / nutzerpw.pag) and I had write the the following
entry in the httpd.conf

<Directory "/opt/lampp/test">
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthDBMUserFile /opt/lampp/etc/nutzerpw <-- the name of
the password database
Require valid-user
</Directory>

but all the time comes an Internal Server Error, I had dump the loaded
modules:

Internal server error could be anything, the details of the error are
usually reported in the error_log file, what does it says?

A quick search on Google with the error message returned this:

<quote>
In Apache 2.2, the mod_auth_basic module is now set to authoritative,
and must be disabled. This is done in the authentication section of the
configuration file by adding the line :

AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
</quote>

see if doing so fix your problem.
