Oops =) Replace 'sr' with 'sudo' wherever encountered (corporate colloquialism).
As somebody else said recently on this very same thread, it's likely that your problem is libapreq. And as they mentioned, the correct thing to do would be to build it from the ports tree (otherwise compiled by- hand with any modifications required to make it work on FreeBSD -- which is what the ports tree does for you). (shrug) Dunno, not using libapreq in our distribution. Besides libapreq, I can't say that we've had any problems on FreeBSD at all (many versions). Though there are some gotchas (for example, if you don't use --with-devrandom configure option, then the FreeBSD system will eventually cause HTTPS clients to hang as the system waits for more entropy to be gathered for /dev/random (redefining to /dev/urandom solves this problem). -- Devin Teske On Thu, 2009-10-29 at 09:41 -0700, Devin Teske wrote: > Running Apache 2.2.13 with mod_perl 2.0.4 and other sundry pieces on > FreeBSD-4.11. > > Here's my compile notes (sorry if it's a little lengthy, just > copy/pasted to minimize time spent on this): > > > > > Paste: > > The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an > open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating > systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT.
