Title: pwauth bin
Post by: guest22 on October 16, 2007, 12:30:55 PM: Hi,

I've installed mediawiki (from source) and I'm trying to follow the authentication method mentioned on mediawiki.org using pwauth ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PwAuthPlugin ). It is mentioned that /usr/local/libexec/pwauth is being used and it seems that is not present on a stock SME 7.2 server.

Can somebody point out how can install the pwauth (bin version) for 7.2 or am I wrong by assuming this needs to be installed?

Thanks!

You'll find that "/usr/lib/httpd/modules/pwauth" exists, and is part of the mod_auth_external rpm.

'locate pwauth' would tell you this, after you first run 'updatedb'.

Thanks, exactly what I did. I was fooled by the exact location mentioned in the authorization script (/usr/local/libexec/pwauth) and the real location on SME 7.2. Made again an assumption ;-)
Thx

Don't believe everything you read. Most of it is wrong :-)
