>Description:
I have always the message "Expected </xxx> but saw </xxx>" (where xxx is
Directory, File, VirtualHost, ... in httpd.conf, access.conf, srm.conf) when
starting Apache (apachectl start).
The problem come from src/main/httpd_core.c when Apache compare 2 strings in
the function end_nested_section() with the operator != to compare the 2 string
pointers. When I replace this comparison with a string comparison strcmp(),
it's work.
(Sorry for my english)
if (cmd->cmd->name != cmd->end_token) {
return ap_pstrcat(cmd->pool, "Expected ", cmd->end_token, " but saw ",
cmd->cmd->name, NULL);
}
==========>>>>>>>>>>>>
if (strcmp(cmd->cmd->name,cmd->end_token)) {
return ap_pstrcat(cmd->pool, "Expected ", cmd->end_token, " but saw ",
cmd->cmd->name, NULL);
}
>How-To-Repeat:
Yes, see the source of http_core.c
>Fix:
Replace the comparison != with a string compare strcmp() in the function
end_nested_section() (in http_core.c).
