Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename

pj — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 09:07:55 +0000

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

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.

To DVI or not to DVI Part 2

After my dramatic attempt to get my hands on an IIyama E2200WS last weekend, the friendly people at graficall sold me a *real* E2200WS.

I had to negotiate a new sleeping place with the cats, though:

Apache2 and subversion broken

pj — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 20:09:28 +0000

Problem: SVN (Subversion) didn’t work: “(20014)Internal error: Bad database version: compiled with 4.4.20, running against 4.3.28″

Solution:

But only this time: the debian-apache2 team linked apache2 against both libdb4.3 and libdb4.4. I rely heavily on the apache2 module “dav_svn”, which uses apache2′s preferred libdb.

After four hours of reinstalling and debugging with the help of Peter Samuelsen, he found this issue and reported it to the debian-apache2 team.

The updated subversion debian package is at: http://free.linux.hp.com/~troyhebe/subversion-1.4.0-5/libsvn1_1.4.0-5_i386.deb
