Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename

Published by pj at 11:07 am under bugs, subversion, apache2, opensource

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.
