500 error.

[Tue Jul 04 15:57:38 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized: c:/apache/php/php.exe

This is the entry I get in my logfile while trying to authenticate via mysql.

The error is caused by the following lines:
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';

I've got apache and mysql running locally on a win95 box and it generally works fine (as long as the code is right it works flawlessly). I believe this must be a setup problem within my httpd.conf file or something like that. Can someone please advise.

Thanks

WWW-Authenticate is not supported in Apache-win32 version, you have to use it under UNIX/LINUX.

Can't I configure it to use some module for it?

Maybe you should try IIS. It was said under windows platform, IIS runs smoother than Apache-win32, I believe so.

highly arguable... I've had plenty of difficulty w/ IIS, and LOTS with Personal Web Server for 95. Apache is stable as hell under windoze. My only complaint is the lack of header support. linux is just plain better as a server.

I ran into this same problem... Deternal was likely doing the same WebMonkey tutorial as me! The fact that Apache can't do this surprises me a ton... I didn't realize that such important features would be missing from the Windoze version. I love Apache, but do ALL the developers work on Unix?
