[users@httpd] 2.0.51, httpd.conf, Regex could not be compiled
I tried upgrading from 2.0.49 to .51 today.
Everything seemed to go OK; ./configure didnt die, nor did make.
But when I started the .51 binary, I received:
"
Syntax error on line 447 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Regex could not be compiled
"
Line 447:
<Files ~ "*Susie_Sorrento*">
I did a 'httpd -l' on both the .49 and .51 binaries and they have the same
modules (with the exception of adding --enable-log-forensic for .51)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-v4-mapped --enable-log-forensic --enable-expires --enable-headers --enable-unique-id --enable-ssl --enable-static-support --enable-static-rotatelogs --enable-static-logresolve --enable-info --enable-cgi --enable-speling --enable-rewrite --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
So what happened between .49 and .51 that regex could not be complied?
I wouldnt think that --enable-log-forensic would cause the problem
though Im going to try removing that anyway.
Thanks in advance

I can always count you to have a great answer! Thanks. It worked.
Regexs were never my strong point.
Though I suppose the error message could be little more specific:
"Regex could not be compiled. What type of expression is that?!"
Compiled is not the best word to use. I was searching the modules
for regex; I thought regex was moved and I forgot to compile it in.

In any case, the error message is correct. Your regex makes no sense.
The "*" character means "match zero or more of the last character".
So it makes no sense to have the "*" at the start of the string where
there is no last character.
Probably what you want is to simply remove the "~". Then the "*" will
be interpreted according to shell-wildcard rules (match any character
except the "/").

Well... Your regex never compiled. But starting with 2.0.50 the httpd checks
all the regex compiler return codes, which were forgotten before.
I think, you even don't want a regex here, but
<Files "*Susie_Sorrento*">
(without the tilde it uses simple wildcards)
