Hi,

Then let's start and solve two of the 783 so we can these cross off the list....

|19182|New|Blk|2003-04-20|SSLMutex field in ssl.conf needs to be updated.   |
|28923|New|Nor|2004-05-12|Invalid argument for SSLMutex in ./docs/conf/ssl-s|

It is my understanding that 'default' is the right choose, and the platform for 
what Apache2 gets compiled should choose the right default - probably with 
defines in the code.
If this is not appropriate then please make a decision and close both bugs, and 
tell me that its required to patch the build process so that it can be fixed by 
the time when the final httpd-ssl.conf gets created from httpd-ssl.conf.in ...
Currently with the 2.2.4 release on Win32 I see that it gets now fixed during 
build process generation of httpd-ssl.conf; Makefile.win line 686 - file date 
from 07-Dec-2006:
        gsub( /SSLMutex  file:@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ssl_mutex/, "SSLMutex default" 
);

so if that is now the right way to go let me know, and I will look for a patch 
for NetWare so that we can do same there too, and close those bugs finally.

Nevertheless I believe this should get fixed on the Unix side so that every 
platform is happy with 'default' rather than doing substitutions during the 
generation of the conf. Currently there are two platforms (Win32 and NetWare) 
which are only happy with 'SSLMutex default'. Also it seems that anyway there 
happens substitution on Unix/Linux to replace @exp_runtimedir@ with a valid 
directory - so I would tend to do the substitution only on these platforms 
where its anyway required already, and let the other two just copy the 
'SSLMutex default' unchanged; with current new approach we have to substitute 
on every platform.

thanks, Guenter.
