(I'm using/looking at the httpd24threading branch.) In httpd 2.4, ScriptSock relative paths are relative to DefaultRelRuntimedir (which itself is SERVERROOT/logs), whereas in prior releases ScriptSock relative paths are relative to SERVERROOT.
So "ScriptSock logs/cgisock" in t/conf/extra.conf.in will fail with 2.4 (no SERVERROOT/logs/logs directory). Here's a hacky, cross-subproject patch to try to address that. I'm sure it isn't the right fix, but perhaps it is sufficient to describe the problem. diff -ru mod_perl.orig/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestServer.pm mod_perl/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestServer.pm --- mod_perl.orig/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestServer.pm 2010-10-04 08:06:09.000000000 -0700 +++ mod_perl/Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestServer.pm 2013-11-15 07:59:43.000000000 -0800 @@ -126,7 +126,12 @@ sub dversion { my $self = shift; - "-D APACHE$self->{rev}"; + if ($self->{version} =~ /2\.(4|5)\.\d/) { + "-D APACHE$self->{rev} -D APACHE24"; + } + else { + "-D APACHE$self->{rev}"; + } } sub config_defines { diff -ru mod_perl.orig/t/conf/extra.conf.in mod_perl/t/conf/extra.conf.in --- mod_perl.orig/t/conf/extra.conf.in 2013-10-31 01:51:23.000000000 -0700 +++ mod_perl/t/conf/extra.conf.in 2013-11-15 08:07:55.000000000 -0800 @@ -69,7 +69,12 @@ # keep everything self-contained, to avoid problems with sandboxes # which break when things try to run off /tmp <IfModule mod_cgid.c> - ScriptSock logs/cgisock + <IfDefine APACHE24> + ScriptSock cgisock + </IfDefine> + <IfDefine !APACHE24> + ScriptSock logs/cgisock + </IfDefine> </IfModule> <IfModule mod_env.c> SetEnv TMPDIR @t_logs@ It seems very useful to be able to check more specific versions (APACHE24, APACHE22, etc.) without relying on mod_version. --/-- But another side of this is that the generated t/conf/httpd.conf also has ScriptSock; it is fully-qualified so it doesn't have the issue with the different interpretation of relative paths. Is the right fix to simply zap the ScriptSock in t/conf/extra.conf.in, or are there cases where one generated .conf is used without the other?
