Bug#215145: apache-common: Incompatibility with dba layers of PHP4

[Frederic Massot <frederic@juliana-multimedia.com>]

Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.27.1-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

The modules mod_auth_db and mod_auth_dbm use the same library (libdb4.1)
that PHP4.  But it seems that he are not compiled with the same handlers.

A password file create with the PHP script with the db4 handlers are not
recognized by Apache. I use a dba_open() function.

PHP4 (4:4.3.2+rc3-6) recognizes the handlers : cdb cdb_make db4 inifile flatfile

I send a bug report #214423 to a PHP4 maintainer without answer. :o(

Can you agree with the PHP4 maintainer ?


Regards.
