Have you tried that so far? > > http://code.svn.wordpress.org/nginx_auth_mysql/ > http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxEmbeddedPerlModule Well, while you can replace auth_mysql i think that a "mod_perl" for nginx doesn't exists: nginx embedded perl module is used to as an internal language to handle special conditions (i mean to write nginx config file parts in perl so it can do what you need programmatically). If nginx_auth_mysql doesn't work, you can give a look to drizzle extension, that works with mysql too, to handle authentication. Here there are links http://github.com/chaoslawful/drizzle-nginx-module If you can use pam, here there is a module that ask to pam for authentication http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/ (you need pam-mysql in order to use mysql as authentication backend) In the end there is auth request that authorize an user using a subrequest, in this way you could do a little perl script called via web (nginx will use a sub-request) that will authorize the client to connect http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module Here some info on how to use it http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module/file/a29d74804ff1/README If mysql will run on the alix i suggest you to use a simple file based authentication because will reduce a lot the load of the system. Regards perl, you need fast-cgi no other way, here some links http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/perl-fastcgi/debian-5-lenny http://blog.oddeven.info/nginx-perl-fastcgi-how-to/ http://staff.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/nginx-perl-fastcgi/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/369850/how-can-i-run-perl-scripts-using-fastcgi-on-nginx Hope this helps, Best Regards, Daniele -- ____________________________________________________________ | Daniele Salvatore Albano | web site: IT Consultant | http://www.itechcon.it Website Design and Development | Software Engineer and Developer | e-mail: Linux Servers SetUp And Administration | info at itechcon.it Embedded Network Solutions | d.albano at itechcon.it Ai sensi del D.Lgs. 196/2003 si precisa che le informazioni contenute in questo messaggio sono riservate ed a uso esclusivo del destinatario.
