It seems this module is dead upstream, given that the same version was

There is a ticket open on the SF.net site, that advises to use
mod_authX_dbd <http://sourceforge.net/p/modauthmysql/bugs/16/>
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_dbd.html
