Hi Stas,

I'm still alive; just been swamped. I'm not attaching this write-up as a
patch since I'm not sure where you'd want to put it within the
troubleshooting document. I'm not sure if I can provide a full diagnosis
as it's been awhile since I did this work, and I'm still having some
tests fail. It must have been the full moon and holding my tongue right
that made it work with no failures in my last report to you.

Nonetheless, the info below does clear up some of the errors I
originally reported back on Feb 13. If you can think of other details
that I should include, let me know and I'll dig up the messages from the
archives. BTW, I just built and tested mp 2.0.1 with Apache 2.0.54 on
FreeBSD 5.4 and all but 4 tests are passing.

Running tests inside a chroot environment

If you are building your Apache and mod_perl inside a chroot
environment, such as a FreeBSD jail, you may need to edit your
/etc/hosts file to add a localhost entry that resolves to to the ip
address of the jail rather than the default 127.0.0.1.

I've not been able to come across these messages which is too bad as the
4 failing tests (t/filter/both_str_con_ad, t/protocol/echo_block,
t/protocol/echo_filter, and t/protocol/pseudo_http) all seem to be
failing due to sockets. I noticed that 2.0.54 has APR 0.9.6 which
includes a FreeBSD-specific update from 0.9.5:

   *) Fix apr_socket_opt_set with APR_IPV6_V6ONLY flag.  Fixes httpd
     Listen IPv6 socket behavior on FreeBSD 5.x, OpenBSD, NetBSD.
     [Justin Erenkrantz]

Is this the one you were thinking of? I couldn't see where I needed to
pass any special flags to enable it.


Thanks,
William
