Description Martin Frodl 2016-01-19 12:48:06 UTC
Description of problem:

With a clean installation of httpd together with mod_auth_openid, the server refuses to start due to the following syntax error in the configuration file:

# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_auth_openid.conf:
AuthOpenIDDBLocation not allowed here
                                                           [FAILED]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mod_auth_openid-0.7-2.el6.x86_64
httpd-2.2.15-51.el6.x86_64

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2016-01-19 21:27:59 UTC
Yeah, that directive needs to be in a Directory, Location, or File block. 

We should probibly comment it with a note, as we can't tell what Directory, Location or File you might want to protect with OpenID.

...and... we fixed this in a version that never seemed to have gone out as an update. ;( 

Will look and see if we can update things...

This is... still here.

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_auth_openid.conf:
AuthOpenIDDBLocation not allowed here
                                                           [FAILED]

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
