It proves again and again that guessing is evil :(
LOL. Yeah, it's hard enough for an administrator to figure out how a system is configured. Capturing all that knowledge into a pgm is very difficult! At least it doesn't expose security risks like some systems are prone to do when guessing ;->.
Hopefully at the end we will get rid of all guesses, both in Apache-Test and modperl-2.0. I'm big +1 on that.
If the server is run as non-root, it uses that user's uid/gid to configure. If run as root it tries 'nobody'. We could add 'www' as well, but someone may have both available, and others will have some other names. So again to avoid wrong guessing, probably the right solution is to inherit from the global httpd.conf, just like it inherits the LoadModule directives. Can you please try to fix that and send a patch?
I'd be glad to try. Looking at Apache::TestConfig.pm I see a sub called default_user and default_group. Are these what I should be modifying? Where do you read in the LoadModule lines from the httpd.conf, if discovered? I'd like to use that as a template for finding the User and Group lines.
You should be able to grep for this kind of tokens. It's coming from TestConfigParse.pm.
Thank you.
