While fiddling around around to get digest auth working again, I tried this config: AuthType Digest AuthName "wsanchez.net" AuthDigestDomain http://www.wsanchez.net/ http://dav.www.wsanchez.net/ #AuthDigestFile /etc/httpd/auth_digest Basically, I commented out AuthDigestFile since it's no longer recognized. I didn't expect it to work, of course, but even better, it crashes the server. Backtrace below. -wsv (gdb) bt #0 get_hash (r=0x623260, user=0x624b68 "wsanchez", conf=0x5a57e8) at mod_auth_digest.c:1486 #1 0x00280990 in authenticate_digest_user (r=0x623260) at mod_auth_digest.c:1866 #2 0x00012fd0 in ap_run_check_user_id (r=0x623260) at request.c:112 #3 0x00013c2c in ap_process_request_internal (r=0x623260) at request.c:254 #4 0x00007820 in ap_process_request (r=0x623260) at http_request.c:286 #5 0x00002798 in ap_process_http_connection (c=0x61d278) at http_core.c:293 #6 0x00018400 in ap_run_process_connection (c=0x61d278) at connection.c:85 #7 0x00008f2c in child_main (child_num_arg=0) at prefork.c:696 #8 0x000090c0 in make_child (s=0x150318, slot=4) at prefork.c:790 #9 0x0000936c in perform_idle_server_maintenance (p=0x0) at prefork.c:925 #10 0x000097d0 in ap_mpm_run (_pconf=0x2, plog=0x2821a0, s=0x39df0) at prefork.c:1120 #11 0x0000aed4 in main (argc=5, argv=0xbffffb88) at main.c:651 #12 0x000020e8 in _start (argc=5, argv=0xbffffb88, envp=0xbffffba0) at /SourceCache/Csu/Csu-45/crt.c:267 #13 0x00001f68 in start ()
