>Description:
If you want to use the mod_status module, you must run Apache
as standalone using the ServerType directive in httpd.conf.
You will get an empty page(ie. This page contains no data) if
you run Apache with ServerType inetd.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get mod_status working correctly with ServerType standalone,
then switch to inetd.
>Fix:
I imagine the status information is generated periodically by
the server. Since inetd mode only runs a server process when
a request comes in, the status information is never created.
My suggestion is that the documentation be changed to indicate
mod_status only works in standalone mode
