Look into the LogLevel directive.

Have you seen this?
http://authzldap.othello.ch/configuration.html

Unless I'm completely off, mod_authz_ldap should stand on its own. I
know when I've configured mod_auth_ldap for authentication, I didn't
worry about mod_auth_basic.

I have never had any problems with mod_auth_ldap. You should see about
giving it a go if you continue to have problems with mod_authz_ldap and
you aren't missing features mod_authz_ldap provides the other doesn't.
Also, you might want to check your LDAP server's logs to see if you are
binding and also check your LDAP queries with a query tool. See if
you're getting what you are expecting to get manually.

Good luck and let us know.
