mod_auth_digest needs to be enabled in Apache. If it is enabled, it should be visible in phpinfo()

Dear pritaeas,

how to enable it in apache server.

Thank you

[pritaeas]

I think you need to enable it using configure . See the Apache manual for details.

Dear pritaeas,
I have seen my phpinfo and noted that apache2handler section contains a part LoadedModules :

ore prefork http_core mod_so mod_auth_basic mod_auth_digest mod_authn_file mod_authn_alias mod_authn_anon mod_authn_dbm mod_authn_default mod_authz_host mod_authz_user mod_authz_owner mod_authz_groupfile mod_authz_dbm mod_authz_default util_ldap mod_authnz_ldap mod_include mod_log_config mod_logio mod_env mod_ext_filter mod_mime_magic mod_expires mod_deflate mod_headers mod_usertrack mod_setenvif mod_mime mod_dav mod_status mod_autoindex mod_info mod_dav_fs mod_vhost_alias mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_actions mod_speling mod_userdir mod_alias mod_rewrite mod_proxy mod_proxy_balancer mod_proxy_ftp mod_proxy_http mod_proxy_connect mod_cache mod_suexec mod_disk_cache mod_file_cache mod_mem_cache mod_cgi mod_php5 mod_proxy_ajp

So the above section contains the [mod_auth_digest ].Still my program not working .Is there any other setups to change in php or in apache server.

Thank you,

No, this should suffice.

I have seen in the httpd.conf file .
The following line is enabled.

LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so

Where should is find the passwdfile for the particular user.?

Reference:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/htdigest.html

Thankyou,

htdigest can create it if you use the -c option. There are no default ones.

[prem2]

So, if i want to run the program in root user.Is i need to create a passwd file for the username root.Is it mandatory?

I am confused about it.I same program is executed in my collegue system.But the authorization is not acception in my system.

Thank you,

[pritaeas]

Yes, every user that you want to allow must be added to that password-file.

I have created a file in the same programs located folder.Still not getting Worked.

The command i have used is ,

htdigest -c passwdfile matrimony.net root

Is it mandatory to create a file in apache directory?

Thank you,

[pritaeas]

No, the location doesn't matter, since you specify it's location in your htaccess file.
