Thanks for your help. Problem solved, ... I forget to check it and upstream told me, mod_proxy_html isn't linked to any apache library ;) ldd /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_html.so libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x4000a000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) So no need to change the License :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
