Since Apache 2.0.46, mod_watch has no longer worked. The apr_global_mutex_child_init() consistantly fails and now I'm finally trying to get mod_watch/4 working again.
I've also tried Anthony's module on Win32, and while it seems to work with 2.0.47 on W2K it fails on WXP. I guess that on WXP the child doesnt inherit the rights and so cant create the needed files...
I would expect that the current problems are related to the traditional prefork MPM, and resources ownership on Unix-like systems. On W2K, the problem would be different since you'd most likely use a threaded model instead of a process-farm model. WXP should be no difference from W2K in this respect so I don't understand the reasons for the failure in that environment.
My immediate concern is with the traditional prefork MPM in Unix-land which is my base line. I haven't updated the mod_watch source since 2.0.44 when it was know to work in Feburary / March. Since then something fundumental has changed in the Apache / APR / unix support. I've found that if I comment out the apr_global_mutex_child_init() call, everything works otherwise I get a "permission denied" error code every time a child process starts.
