hi, when mod_proxy currently is generating his "id", the name of this id is not very unique. So if you have a shared config/ logs dir for more instances, the slotmem-shm files generated in DefaultRuntimeDir are the same. Bit unlucky if working with shared file systems.
In httpd-2.4.2/modules/proxy/mod_proxy.c line 1146 I can see the following code: #if 0 id = ap_proxy_hashfunc(apr_psprintf(p, "%pp-%" APR_TIME_T_FMT, ps, apr_time_now()), PROXY_HASHFUNC_DEFAULT); #else id = ap_proxy_hashfunc(apr_psprintf(p, "%pp", ps), PROXY_HASHFUNC_DEFAULT); #endif Primarily checked in with http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/proxy/mod_proxy.c?r1=1065749&r2=1065748&pathrev=1065749 If activating the first ap_proxy_hashfunc call, the generated names seem to be unique. Is there any reason this code is not used? Maybe we can set the "timed" version as default? best regards, Zisis
