When trying to run awstats.pl from http, I get a 500 Internal server error after being prompted for authentication. This is the corresponding log error (AFAIKT)

Sun May 18 08:43:39.276039 2014] [authn_core:error] [pid 14747] [client MyIP] AH01796: AuthType Basic configured without corresponding module



Any ideas?

Note, that it does run from the command line

Could you please show me full file of /etc/apache2/conf-available/awstats.conf? Please remove/replace password and sensitive info before pasting.

Re: Awstats 500 error

Problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04. Had to reinstall libapache2-mod-auth-mysql. Found problem with Awstats and 500 error, AuthMysql was off in awstats.conf).

Both Cluebringer and Awstats both display 401 Unauthorized.

Unauthorized
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

All other services (Roundcubemail, iRedAdmin) work fine. Can restart Cluebringer, and as above Awstats.pl runs from command line.

Does it work now?
According to the config file, if you input correct mail user name and password, it will allow you to login.
Its recommended to enable below line to restrict access to global admin:

AuthMySQLUserCondition "isglobaladmin=1"

No, now I have 401 error. Awstats will prompt for user/password and will authenticate, but comes back with 401. Cluebringer just goes directly to 401.

this is what /var/log/apache2/error.log reports

Re: Awstats 500 error

The basic problem is that mod_auth_mysql is not supported in Apache 2.4.x. Is there a way to configure awstats.conf and cluebringer.conf to use another authentication provider, like listed here.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html

Re: Awstats 500 error

You can try to use dbd module (it requires package apr-utils) for authentication.

Re: Awstats 500 error

Any idea on how to do that?

Also, does Awstats and Cluebringer work on a clean Apache 2.4? If so, there should be a fix.

At least, is there a way to disable mod_auth_mysql for Awstats and Cluebringer? Disable the password?

Re: Awstats 500 error

Sorry, don't quite understand. Sample of what?

Re: Awstats 500 error

As mentioned in my reply, you can use Apache module 'dbd' as addition user authentication module to replace mod_auth_mysql. If you search "dbd" in the links i gave in previous reply, you can find sample config:

DBDriver mysql
DBDParams "host=127.0.0.1 port=3306 dbname=vmail user=vmail pass=xxxx"

<Directory /xxxx/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication required"
AuthBasicProvider dbd
AuthDBDUserPWQuery "SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username=%s"
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Refer to Apache document for more details: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html

Re: Awstats 500 error

Getting there, thank you. Now have this error:

Syntax error in apache2.conf
Can't load driver apr.dbd.mysql.so

Any ideas?

15

Re: Awstats 500 error

Do you have required packages "libaprutil1-dbd-mysql" installed? Also, make sure you have Apache module 'dbd' enabled.
