Re: Re: Apache 2.0.50-8 upgrade breaks WebDAV (?)

[Dan Hugo <dhugo@reallycool.com>]

I built 2.0.50-9 from the debian source packages and installed the results... not only do WebDAV and subversion work, but I'm not getting the php4 segfault problems that are now present in the i386 builds of -9 build (which have been mentioned elsewhere).

That is to say, my build of apache2-mpm-prefork 2.0.50-9 (built with gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-9) and related versions of tools) works with dav, subversion, and php4 without apparent issue (all installed from the most current unstable branch on alioth).  The one problem that does persist is that 2 or 3 child processes will continue running on '/etc/init.d/apache2 stop'

In order to get 2.0.50-9 to function on my pIII machine, I have to disable php4 or apache2 will segfault each time any page content is almost-served.  I think dav works, but I haven't spent much time on that today to check it all over.

As for what change is relevant, given that my local build works really has me puzzled.  I am in no way familiar with either of the apache build environments, so I wouldn't be able to provide much in the way of insight at the moment.  But it's only Wednesday.

Keeping an eye on it...
thanks for the feedback
