mod_auth_mysql.so causes Apache problems

[Anon]

I recently compiled and installed mod_auth_mysql for my Apache server. However, when I have the .so activated in my httpd.conf file, my Apache server won't allow connections... I just get "cannot connect to server" type of errors in the web-browsers. However, when I take mod_auth_mysql out of the httpd.conf file, Apache responds, and allows connections. This problem when mod_auth_mysql is installed happens even when there is no .htaccess file, or anything else even relating to the authentication library. And its not just saying, "you don't have permission," its flat out refusing the connection. My error logs don't show anything. What is the problem?

I'm using the latest versions of Apache, MySQL, mod_auth_mysql, and I have Linux Mandrake 8.0.

Thanks,

what does 'httpd -t' say? Crank up the error level in your httpd.conf file and run httpd by hand and see what you get on screen and in the error log file.

My guess is something isn't quite right with that module or it's configuration
