 from http_main.c

     if ((s = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP)) == 2) {
         log_unixerr("socket", NULL, "Failed to get a socket, exiting
 child",
                     server_conf);
         exit(1);
     }

 it was set to -1, I changed it, it compiled, I havent had a chance to
 stress test it yet though.

 I see what you are saying, and then it must be with _my_ include files
 though nearly every solaris platform I have access to would not
 run the binary due to this error.  I am not sure if i've abnormal
 solaris boxen or this is common.  The Apache would run untill
 it made the socket call then exit with an error of no permission
 to bind the socket.  --maybe a small paragraph in the faqs
 would save others from pulling hair like i was(for all of ten minutes).
 
 cheap the faith!
