+Important Bug Workaround for 2.0.48 and 1.3.29 + +

If you use mod_usertrack with the default +CookieName (ie, there is no CookieName directive in your config file), then +you will encounter a bug in 2.0.48 and 1.3.29. +

+ +

The patch that was added to these versions to help prevent false-positive +matches of the CookieName did not take into account this case, and therefore +the regular expression that is now used in the matching process will be NULL +if no CookieName directive was encountered.

+ +

This problem will be fixed in both 2.0.49 and 1.3.30 when they are +released. As a simple workaround in 2.0.48 and 1.3.29, simply add the +line
+CookieName Apache
+to your config file. (While you're at it, you could pick a more +meaningful cookie name than "Apache", but any cookie name will do.) +
