Hi,
I am seeking some assistance in tracking down a problem with building Apache 2.0.53 + mod_perl2.0.0-RC4 under a FreeBSD 5.3 jailed environment using gcc 3.4.2 and perl 5.8.6.
One of the mod_perl tests is failing because it is getting a different remote_ip address than the address being reported by result of c->remote_ip. Apache's method is getting the real ip address whereas mod_perl is getting the loopback address.
It has nothing to do with mod_perl, William. It's Apache-Test that you are after, which is used to test mod_perl.
Both of these are correct but I need to figure out how to get them to match. I tried looking through the httpd source files but am not a C programmer and did not have much luck finding the section where remote_ip is set. Could someone give me a hand?
it's set in server/core.c:
apr_sockaddr_ip_get(&c->remote_ip, c->remote_addr);
it obtains this information from the live socket connected to a client, whereas Apache-Test tries to resolve the hostname of your machine since at the time when it sets this value there is no connection yet. So as I've replied at the modperl list, you want to figure out how to make Apache-Test report the same value as if it had a live connection from the same machine. If you want to discuss how this can be done, let's do that on the test-dev list where this discussion belongs.
Thanks.
