Which raises a good point...

Wouldn't it be better if mod_unixd, mod_version, and mod_so when enabled
were all compiled into the core?  They all seem pretty essential.

All my customer builds always compile in mod_version, since you can't tell
the version to decide if you are going to load mod_version.

mod_so goes without saying.

Similarly, I would rather have httpd tell me I'm on a unixd-style platform
instead of second guessing the modules to enable.  Any reason not to load
it, ever, on a unixd platform?

Seems like they would be good general statically linked defaults.

Hm, there might be replacements for mod_unixd. IMHO this was one of the reasons
to make it a module. So I agree with you regarding mod_version and mod_so,
but not regarding mod_unixd.

Yes, potentially.

Dependencies on ap_unixd_config are currently a bit messy, and
it would be good to clean them up, or at last API-ise them so it becomes
more a 'proper' module.  More directly relevant to your question,
it should in principle be possible to use a further-developed
mod_privileges, or comparable alternative scheme, as a complete
replacement for mod_unixd.


Seems like they would be good general statically linked defaults.


It needs to know there is *some* system privileges scheme in
operation and isn't running as unprotected root.  But that's all.

changing mod_wombat's name

[Brian McCallister]

I know some folks are attached to the wombat moniker, but the name is
likely to confuse users, particularly now that it is in trunk.

The obvious name, mod_lua, is a bit tricky as there are about half a
dozen projects named mod_lua -- most of which are dead.

I don't have a really good alternative, which is why the working name
mod_wombat came into being, but I think leaving that name will cause
user confusion.

+1 to renaming, but I'm not sure we can or should call it mod_lua.

Any other ideas?

RE: Dyanamic loading of apache hash table.

[Jayasingh Samuel]

Shariq,  Thanks for your reply, I think we can use the Shared memory if we have 
one file which has to be shared among all the process/thread, but my problem is 
i have 100's of files in directory and i need to store them all in a hash map 
and arrays. 
 
Also I need to malloc the arrays structure dynamically. Will this possible 
using the shared memory or there is any other technique for the same..?
 
Thanks, 
Jaysingh. 

Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 11:33:08 -0800From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 
Re: Dyanamic loading of apache hash table.Hey Jaysingh,I am also running into 
this problem of having to reload some state in a module through a handler. As 
you mentioned - the problem here is that the loaded state is forked by the 
Apache process/thread structure and hence only the process/thread that serves 
the handler will reload its state.I am thinking of solving this problem in the 
following ways - 1) Maintain the state that needs to be reloaded in shared 
memory - so that all Apache processes/threads can read the same version. I am 
guessing this will be expensive.2) Terminate the processes/threads whose state 
has become obsolete.On top of the mod_rewrite recommended by someone else here, 
I think mod_perl does something similar too - because it has to look for 
modified Perl files on disk on every request.What are your 
thoughts?thanks,Shariq

We have always run -alpha versions, even with experimental MPMs on our
production web servers.

Eating our own dog food is very good, if we have developers around to
fix it.

The problem with velocity's site is an interaction between mod_deflate,
mod_include, subrequests and directory indexes.  In production, we are
still running 2.3.0-alpha, but I have disabled mod_deflate, which seems
to work as a work around for now.

Hopefully in the next day we will have a patch to fix it.

+1 on renaming.
I still have to look up what it is every now and then. (Mostly due to
forgetting what it does all the time though)

mod_lua_handler, mod_lua_config meh I'm not good with names.

metal note: look at lua and mod_soonnottobewombat to replace to
replace buggy mod_perl stuff.
