An update on this: The following program reproduces the problem for
me, using either branch of the if-block:
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use File::Temp qw(tempfile);
use APR::Finfo ();
use APR::Pool ();
use APR::Const -compile => qw(FINFO_NORM);
my($fh, $file);
if (0) {
($fh, $file) = tempfile(DIR => '.', UNLINK => 1);
close $fh;
}
else {
$file = 'test.txt';
open $fh, '>', $file;
close $fh;
}
print "Testing $file\n";
my $finfo = APR::Finfo::stat($file, APR::Const::FINFO_NORM, APR::Pool->new());
So it's nothing specific about the way httpd.conf is created.
But if I manually create a file in Windows Explorer and then point the
above program at that file then it works OK.
I think there is some weird permissions thing going on here. If I
double-click on the test.txt file produced by the program above then
it opens in Notepad. If I now try to Save that file then it fails,
saying 'You do not have permissions to open this file. See the owner
of the file or an administrator to obtain permission."
This makes no sense me because right-click > Properties > Security
shows that Administrators have Full control... and my (domain) user
account is in the (local) Administrators group that has Full control!
If I hit the Advanced button on the Properties dialog and go to the
Effective Access tab and select my user account then it confirms that
the Effective Access for my account really does include Full control.
Files that I make manually (right-click > New > Text Document in
Windows Explorer) have Owner set to my user account rather than
Administrators. And if I make a copy of the offending test.txt (or
httpd.conf) file then those copies are also owned by me.
So the problem is that apr_stat() fails on files that I don't own,
even when I have Full control over them. To be fair, Notepad also has
trouble with these files, which I don't understand.
