Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename

Published by pj under apache2,bugs,opensource,subversion

While upgrading Apache to version 2.2.4-2 for a subversion upgrade (version 1.4.4dfsg1-1) I ran into errors with my auth_pgsql (or any other auth_mysql, auth_ldap or auth_* module) setup:

“Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename”

This is caused by auth_basic and stops the authentication and authorisation process. Adding the following directive to your auth_pgsql or auth_ldap config file solves the problem:

“AuthBasicAuthoritative Off”
It disables basic authorisation being authoritive for the authorisation process. The errors will still be visible in your logfiles, but the authorisation scheme works as normal.

Windows image viewer slow

Published by pj under bugs

When your windows image viewer is really slow in showing the image (halts on ‘Generating preview’), make sure that there are no dead links in the same folder as you are currently viewing the file in. Broken links to network drives for example cause slowdown of the image viewer. This usually occurs on the desktop, which contains shortcuts to programs or games that might no longer be installed on your computer.

Moving the images to a seperate directory solves the problem.
