Hi,
It returns
Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
MP_AP_PREFIX = /usr/local/apache2
MP_USE_DSO = 1
Configuring Apache/2.0.48 mod_perl/1.99_11 Perl/v5.8.2
!!! default servername localhost
Usage: Socket::inet_ntoa(ip_address_sv) at
Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm line 593.
!!! default servername localhost
so it looks like it does want the entry in /etc/hosts.
TBH I dont know why it is not in there.
Adam
