What's worng with Mod_edir???

What I don't understand is that I had changed NOTHING on that server.
It just stopped working after being up all weekend. I don't have any
other auth directives in the conf. I am now using LDAP auth, and it
is working fine. I will just programmatically check for wether or not
a user should have access to an area using PHP, or I will use the
"require user username" directive for each restricted area.

Good morning Mike,
Sometimes clues can stare you in the face and later come back to laugh
at
you when the solution finally settles.
There was an error message in the log copy you sent, that actually
comes
from mod_auth, about 'unknown require', and AFAICT from the program,
'something' told mod_auth that there was no lower authorisation
module, so
when it ran across a need to process a directory with 'require
edir-user',
mod_auth printed the message... which doesn't help any save provide a
few
more insights perhaps.
Thanks for the feedback.

switched it
to use LDAP authentication yesterday, using "require valid-user"
instead of
"require edir-user" and it's working great. I just can't use EDir
rights to
control access to the various directories. Fortunatley for me, I
don't have
a "large" setup, so I only need to restrict a couple areas, which the"require user username username2" (replacing username and username 2
etc...
with actual users) directive is working fine for. Not as nice as
using
eDir, but still better than using text files to manage who can access
the
stuff.
