Bug#717448: apache2: Invalid command 'AuthType'
Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.4-6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The AuthType command seems to have been removed or is broken.
This breaks package phpmyadmin and many other simple user written
websites that require simple security.
I found this error by simply installing apache2, php5 and phpmyadmin.
root@Anum:~# service apache2 start
[FAIL] Starting web server: apache2 failed!
The apache2 configtest failed. Please run 'env -i LANG=C
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin /usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest'
manually and read the log file to discover problems
failed!
root@Anum:~# env -i LANG=C PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest
AH00526: Syntax error on line 26 of
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf:
Invalid command 'AuthType', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES

root@Anum:~# a2disconf phpmyadmin
Conf phpmyadmin disabled.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
service apache2 reload
root@Anum:~# apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using ::1. Set the 'ServerName' directive
globally to suppress this message

As you can see it looks like I have the right modules loaded.
Any ideas maybe something I'm doing wrong? or should I report it as a
phpmyadmin bug?
