Now trying to compile mod_auth_mysql on a second machine
and running into no end of problems. Trying to follow the
lessons learned from an earlier installation (thread below)
didn't help much.
httpd.h can be found in /usr/local/etc/apache/include
httpd.conf is in /usr/local/etc/apache/conf
Yet NONE of the following work :
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-apache=/usr/local/etc
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-apache=/usr/local/etc/apache
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local
--with-apache=/usr/local/etc/apache/include
am I just a loser or is there something in the readme i've missed ?
