Re: mod_python 3.2.5b available for testing

[Barry Pederson]

I've got failures that seem to be caused by the tests themselves, but 
with a bit of tweaking they pass.

FreeBSD 6.0
Apache 2.0.55 port built WITH_THREADS=1
Python 2.4.2


The error_log shows:

Googling that last message comes up with a suggesting that you specify a 
 "User" in the http config.

With the attached patch, the tests run httpd with a "User www" 
directive, and pass.
