RE: 2.0.25 on FreeBSD 4.2-R -- 404 returns text/plain error page
Is that always true? For example, expat is not compiled with those flags. -Original Message- From: Roy T. Fielding [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 7:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 2.0.25 on FreeBSD 4.2-R -- 404 returns text/plain error page As a side note, some portions of the code are compiled with -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE even when building using the prefork mpm. Why? Doesn't that have the potential to do the wrong thing on some platforms? No, it would do the wrong thing if they were not defined. They are required for the entire executable if any part of the exec has been compiled with those flags. In our case, since modules like PHP and others will be compiled with those flags, we must always compile with those flags or mod_php's return values for errno won't be correctly interpreted by the httpd core (a problem that was fixed in some version of 1.3.x by always setting those flags on platforms that support it).

This is a problem simply with the multi-language error-docs. If you want to go beta, just comment them out of the default config file. I doubt very much else will be hit by this problem. Joshua.
