New install apache authentication problem?

[Jayson Kliger]

I dont know if you are having the same problem as I encountered
(everytime I would enter a uid/pass the request box would keep coming
back up asking for it again..and never accept) I check the error_log for
httpd, and I saw "user permission denied" (or something to that
effect)..I checked the cgi.cfg file to make sure my users were in all
the authentication lines (and removed hash signs)but it still wasnt
authenticating.. so I confirmed what packages were installed for apache,
and I noticed that mod_auth_pgsql "basic authentication for Apache Web
server using a PostgreSQL Database" .I installed that and it worked, I
am running RH8, you didnt specify what you were running but maybe this
will help..

I have the <Directory> definitions in httpd.conf from setting up the aliases earlier in the "setting up for web access" directions.  The only differences I can find are the fact that the name of the directory is not in quotes here in the "Authentication and Authorization in the CGIs" section and there is no Options None setting in the definition in the "Authentication etc."  Do I need two of these definitions?  That doesn't sound right...
