Apache2 authentication

[travs69]

I would like to do authentication with out using apache's basic authentication (I want a form based login and not basic's login/pass pop-up). All the apache documentation says that you can handle this your self but I can not seem to find how people are doing this (apparently I am doing googling for the right words!). I am running apache2, postgresql, and perl all the latest stable builds. Any suggestions are welcome!

These questions you've been asking are not apache related. If you want forms and ways of of tracking users, you will need to look into scripting. There are 2 good sources for cgi and php scripts at

http://cgi.resourceindex.com

and

http://php.resourceindex.com

respectively.

I have no problem doing this through scripting.. but after looking at the mod_auth_pg module (which does authentication through a postgres DB while logging to that same DB. which answers my first question I posted here) I thought that there might be a module out there built specifically for what I am trying to do. I like mod_auth_pg but it still requires apache basic authentication.

If you want to do the authentication through the use of forms, you cannot use any of Apache's authentication modules. The authentication will have to be handled by a scripting language because Apache doesn't do forms.

As RhythmAce has said, your question is more appropriate for a forum dedicated to the scripting language of your choice (you mentioned perl) that to this forum.
