I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here... I am talking about the httpd.conf that gets generated during 'make test' for mp2 1.99_17. The module Apache::TestConfig included with mp2 appears to be generating parts of the file 't/conf/httpd.conf', specifically the block that starts '<IfModule worker.c>', as my httpd binary is built using the worker MPM. > Ideally A-T should have no such special case knowledge since it makes > things a way too complicated to maintain and introduces lots of problems. I understand that A-T itself should not have any knowledge of the system it's testing -- but the specific implementation of tests for mp2 should... If it's possible to run the tests for mp2 as a non-root user, it really makes no sense to assume the non-root user can start up the default apache configuration, does it? > It goes along these lines: You should be able to start Apache w/o > mod_perl, i.e. your global httpd.conf should be correct.

It is correct, as root is able to start apache 2 without mod_perl. I cannot start apache with the global configuration because the default paths for apache logs, acceptmutex, etc. are not writable by anyone but root. > So the solution here is to fix your global httpd.conf and the rest will > work. Does that do the trick for you? Does the above clarify where I'm coming from?
