Here's a response from Joe Orton about mod_proxy: (begin email) Hiya, there was a mod_proxy bug causing failures like that in the version of httpd which went out in the 5.3 beta. There are updated packages here: http://people.redhat.com/jorton/Tikanga-httpd/ if they see problems with those packages please let me know! (end email) We have a workaround in place so things will still work with the older version, though if folks want the existing version to work on 5.3 /or/ have other applications using mod_proxy encountering similar problems, they may be interested in the above. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
