RHBA-2004:317 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated mod_auth_pgsql package
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated mod_auth_pgsql package that includes a bug fix is now available.
Description
The mod_auth_pgsql package provides support for authentication against a
PostgreSQL database using the Apache HTTP server.
The mod_auth_pgsql module was leaving the connection to the PostgreSQL
database open after a serviced request. This resulted in an
exhaustion of the database connection limit, and prevented further connections.
Users of mod_auth_pgsql should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
