Configuring authentication and authorization in Apache2 with MySQL

Question

Hello,

I am trying to configure Apache2 so I can use MySQL for authenticating users to access certain pages. Also authorization needs to work so different groups can reach differen pages.

Now, I have googled a lot but can't find out how to do this. At least not for the configuration I am having. There doesn't seem to be any version of mod_auth_mysql that supports my configuration.

OSX 10.6.4

Apache 2.2

Now, how do I achieve this not creating my own login-application in php but using the built in support of Apache2? I'm totally stuck on this one...

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Niklas

You can build mod_auth_mysql from the source. Have a look at this post.
