Talk:Apache user authentication multiplexing

This used to work for me on Apache 2.0.x, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on Apache 2.2.x. At first I got as far as being bounced to Raven and back, but got a "CGI error 500: no / at start of path" message when accessing any of the protected pages following authentication.

Having had a look at the rewrite rules, it looks like there's something fishy with the 'REDIRECT_IU' variable, since it's read but never set. I guessed that 'IU' in the second paragraph of rewrite rules should maybe say 'REDIRECT_IU'. This changes the flavour of 500 error page I get, but makes effectively no difference.

Suggestion would be welcome. I'll try replicating the set-up on my own Apache, since at the moment I'm using the SRCF's and therefore don't have access to the error logs. --srk31 17:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

It turns out that these rewrite rules are not the problem, that the 'IU' variable name is indeed correct (though I'm not sure why), and that I can read the error logs (though can't change them to debug mode). I'll remove this unfortunately spurious discussion (with myself) shortly. --srk31 12:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
