You shouldn't really configure a ScoreBoardFile in httpd, it's not
necessary. If you comment that out it should work fine.
The behaviour you see is partly due to apr 0.9.x lacking
apr_shm_remove(), something which was fixed in apr 1.0.x; so this
doesn't affect 2.2.x even with ScoreBoardFile configured.
