This is due to the accept model for connections used by the threaded MPM and the fact that workers cannot be awakened to receive the shutdown signal until they receive an incoming connection. A new MPM (temporarily called "worker") is being developed to correct this problem using a different accept model, though it is not ready yet. For now, the prefork MPM is considered the most stable (and is therefore currently the default), though threaded has made quite a bit of progress since 2.0.22. We are very interested in real-world performance comparisons between prefork and threaded, particularly on heavily-loaded servers. Any feedback along those lines would be greatly appreciated. 3) mod_auth_dbm, mod_auth_db, and mod_auth_digest might not compile on some systems due to missing headers or libraries which are not correctly flagged as missing by configure. Using --enable-modules=most, --enable-shared=most, etc, can enable some of these modules even on platforms where they will not compile. If you have trouble compiling any of them, you can disable the offending module by rerunning configure and adding --disable-auth-dbm, --disable-auth-db, or --disable-auth-digest to the end of your configure line. 4) mod_ssl is still in the process of being ported to Apache 2.0 and is considered alpha quality. Considerable progress has been made on it since 2.0.22, though it still might not work on all systems and not all functionality has yet been enabled. 5) There is a known build problem when using GNU make version 3.77 on some systems, which appears to be a bug in that version of gmake. Upgrading to a newer version of gmake fixes the problem. -------------------------------------------------------------- Is #5 still a problem? Are my explanations for #2-4 satisfactory? Most importantly, are there any known problems that are NOT on this list?
