Hi, I'm forwarding e-mail below because the Apache2 developers got some problem reports using apache2-2.0.43 on Linux kernel 2.4.18 with IPv6. But also others do not have such problems (like me).
So if you using apache2-2.0.43 on Linux kernel 2.4.18 pls. check
whether you have problems like described. If or if not it would be
nice if you can report this to given e-mail address:
eff Trawick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Please send report only with most complete information.
Example
System: Red Hat Linux 7.3
Patchlevel: all available updates
Running kernel: Linux 2.4.18-18.7.xcustom3 i686
`uname -mrs`
Running glibc: glibc-2.2.5-40
fetch on RPM based systems:
`rpm -q glibc --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}\n"`
Running apache2: 2.0.43
`/path/to/httpd2 -v`
Used model: worker
`/path/to/httpd2 -l` | egrep "prefork|perchild|worker"
(If selfbuild/compiled)
Used configure options:
...
(If not selfbuild/compiled)
Binary source: falsehope
Thank you very much,
Peter
