Thanks for the info. I solved the problem by moving the

Include conf.d/*.conf

line in httpd.conf, to below the

LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so

line. This way, I can still use mysql if I wish to, and httpd tries to 
use mod_auth FIRST, which is what I wanted it to do.

Thanks for responding.
