In case you’re using the patched version of mod_auth_mysql for apache2, setting the AuthBasicAuthoritative directive may not be enough.

If you still get the “Bad file descriptor” error, in combination with
” Internal error: pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename”, you can get rid of those messages by including this in your config-file:

AuthUserFile /dev/null

Hey, THANKS a lot!!

I migrated a server from apache1/php4 to apache2/php5 and just didn’t get it, until I found your site and this hint.

I don’t speak/read a single word of italic language, but I understood the content anyway
