[Win32]: apache -k start broken

[Juergen Heckel <JH...@t-online.de>]

Hi,
since two days (the latest 2.0.37-dev) the command line option "apache
-k start" seems to be broken: the apache server responds with unkown
option. "Net start apache2" works as before.

Actually, I just put in the patch this weekend that should have fixed that
misbehavior, at least from the reading ConfigArgs side of the coin.  But
I will go back over that code once again.  The weekend was busy.

Hi,
thank you. 
The last snapshot which worked was from 22.05.2002.

If I change the following line in main.c (introduced since 23.05.2002)
    if (rv != APR_EOF || opt->ind < opt->argc) { 

back to the previous line
    if (rv != APR_EOF) { 

all is ok again. I can compile but I don't understand C++:-(

I hope this will be fixed soon.

A little bird told me the other day that some windows code leaves a
dummy "" arg on the command-line when it gets back from the
rewrite_args hook, and that this patch of mine to complain if there is
extraneous crap on the command-line catches the "".  (I cannot confirm
this diagnosis personally.)

You may wish to revert that change temporarily until the Win32 code is
changed to avoid leaving stuff on the command-line.

Hi,
no solution, no answer here?
