Just after I get a large group of sites migrated to apache2 on a

Seems to be a bit of info in google about it, related to Mac OS X,
and some in the macports archives about python.
Here is the whole deal:
$grep 'alert' error_log

I was fiddling with rotatelogs in a virtual host container, but
since removed it, and am not using that feature at this time.
Those alerts above came after I restarted apache with a graceful.
Suggestions?
What OS is this? If 10.5 or later, the user should be "_www" not
"www".
Where does "group 70" come from? That should be "_www" too,
shouldn't it?
This is 10.5, PPC
As to www or _www, I was pretty sure the are synonymous...
$touch foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 me staff 0 Oct 8 20:06 foo
$sudo chown www:www foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 _www _www 0 Oct 8 20:06 foo
$sudo chown _www:_www foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 _www _www 0 Oct 8 20:06 foo
No matter what, they always seem to be _www.
Group 70 is:
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default
GeneratedUID: ABCDEFAB-CDEF-ABCD-EFAB-CDEF00000046
Password: *
PrimaryGroupID: 70
RealName:
HTTP Users
RecordName: _www www
RecordType: dsRecTypeNative:groups
SMBSID: S-1-5-21-170
That is built in, I did not make that. Where is apache deciding to
set these values from, and why is it only an intermittent error? The
default httpd.conf has:
User www
Group www
This thread I just found sheds more light on it:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200810.mbox/%[email protected]%3e
Google searches on this are pretty strongly pointing to 'initgroups',
which I know nothing about.
According to this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1495604
I should change the httpd.conf file to _www an _www u/g, though Apache
should still not crash regardless. This is not all the time like in
the above post, I only get it under a condition I can not repeat
currently.
I have never worked with bug reporting to Apache, do you think this is
cofig on my end, or worth taking up the chain?
