Auth_dbm

Hello Folks,

I have a big problem, I tried to use auth_dbm. I had created a dbm database
(2 Files nutzerpw.dir / nutzerpw.pag) and I had write the the following
entry in the httpd.conf

<Directory "/opt/lampp/test">
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthDBMUserFile /opt/lampp/etc/nutzerpw <-- the name of
the password database
Require valid-user
</Directory>

but all the time comes an Internal Server Error, I had dump the loaded
modules:
