One question: I agree with Ken that the warning about FreeBSD should
remain, but it might not need to be quite so verbose. Since APR disables
threads by default on FreeBSD (right?), Apache should automatically choose
MPM=prefork by default (right?). So really all the note needs to say is
that this is going to happen, and you can change it back with
--enable-threads. So right now it says this:
* If you are building on FreeBSD, you should add the argument
--with-mpm=prefork to the configure line. The Apache Group
has discovered that threads do not work well with Apache
on FreeBSD. For that reason, we disable threads by default
on FreeBSD, and you need to build the prefork MPM. If you wish
to try to make threads work on FreeBSD, they can be re-enabled
by using --enable-threads
I'd have it say this:
* If you are building on FreeBSD, be aware that threads will
be disabled and the prefork MPM will be used by default,
as threads do not work well with Apache on FreeBSD. If
you wish to try a threaded Apache on FreeBSD anyway, use
"./configure --enable-threads".
Does that work?
