RE: 2.0.24 STATUS file

["Farag, Hany M (Hany)" <hf...@lucent.com>]

Hi,
We read this in the STATUS file of 2.0.24:

"There is a bug in how we sort some hooks, at least the pre-config
hook.  The first time we call the hooks, they are in the correct 
order, but the second time, we don't sort them correctly.  Currently,
the modules/http/config.m4 file has been renamed to 
modules/http/config2.m4 to work around this problem, it should moved
back when this is fixed."

But we don't understand the exact problem or the fix... Can you please
explain..
Also, if we did not rename the config.m4 files to config2.m4, Can it cause a
seg fault?

Thanks
Hany

Hi,
I'm trying to debug Apache 2.0, I changed the log level in the httpd.conf
file to debug, also i used the ap_log_rerror(,,,,,) in my code to see the
values and other debuging info but cann't see any thing just the evil seg
fault message.
Is there any other method i can use.

Thanks
Hany

Thank you all for your help.
I can see the 2 modules included in the build.
I was missing the Makefile.in
Thanks

This bug didn't cause seg faults.  It just means that in some instances, the
hooks aren't sorted correctly, so that a function registered bt the http 
module was being called in the wrong order.  I am not even sure that this bug 
still exists, I need to go back in and check.
