Man page for httpd

[David Robinson <dr...@ast.cam.ac.uk>]

This should go somewhere in the 1.0 distribution. I've uploaded it to
hyperreal as 32_manpage.0.8.15.patch

can be overrided by the ServerRoot command in the configuration file. The
default is \fB/usr/local/etc/httpd\fP.
.TP
.BI \-d config
Execute the commands in the file \fIconfig\fP on startup. If \fIconfig\fP
does not begin with a /, then it is taken to be a path relative to
the ServerRoot. The default is \fBconf/httpd.conf\fP.

Re: Man page for httpd

This may or may not be the proper forum for this question, and if not, I 
apologize, however I don't know where else to send this to, so I figured 
here might work.  

Apache 0.8.14 has a bug which I encountered that I have yet to see a fix 
for, and I figured you may want to know before going ahead with an 
official release.

the .htaccess authorization doesn't work the way it did in previous 
(0.6.5) versions.

The difference is with the .htgroup files, in that in the past the 
following was acceptable:

group1: user1
group1: user2
group1: usern

where as now, only

group1: user1 user2 usern

is acceptable.

This doesn't work when n=5000+ users, as the daemon just spins forever 
trying to authenticate the user.

Any fixes/patches available or in the works?

Thanks,

Richard
