The problem is that if you use an EAPI-patched-1.3, you get a path to a mutex file hard-coded into the httpd binary. If this path is absolute, as above, then you need permission in that path to create a file, so using httpd-test to run httpd as a user doesn't work if that path is only writable by root, obviously. You can compile EAPI-patched-1.3 with a relative EAPI_MM_CORE_PATH (or wahtever it is, I don't remember), and the problem will go away as it will become effectively ServerRoot-relative. All IIRC :) joe
