Description John Griffiths 2011-12-20 20:43:05 UTC
Description of problem:
mod_auth_mysql 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_mysql to start for authorization to areas of the web server.

Comment 1 John Griffiths 2011-12-23 20:10:24 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-mysql.i686.

Modify httpd.conf to remove the authorization directives for mod_auth_mysql and, add the appropriate directives as found here: 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html
