Description John Griffiths 2011-12-20 20:45:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
mod_auth_pgsql was orphaned in Fedora 16, so it no longer exits. For those
users of Fedora, we are left with unusable Apache installations since Apache
needs mod_auth_pgsql to start for authorization to areas of the web server.
Comment 1 John Griffiths 2011-12-23 20:11:19 UTC 
I am closing this since there is a another way to authenticate Apache using a SQL database.

For those with the same issue:

Make sure you install apr-util-pgsql.i686.

Modify httpd.conf to remove the authorization directives for mod_auth_pgsql and, add the appropriate directives as found here:
