Subject: post-config phase question
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:40:44 -0800
To: modules-dev@httpd.apache.org

Based on the few books that describe Apache module writing and a =
presentation
that I've found on the web from an Apache conference, the advice to =
module=20
writers is to remember that Apache calls the post-config phase twice - =
once=20
while it's checking its configuration files, and then when it's ready to =
start up
it discards all that and calls post-config again to really set things =
up.

But it appears to me (via tracing I've done in my own module) that =
post-config
is actually called once at configuration file checking time, and then =
once per=20
server process start (we're using MPM here) during the second (actual =
Apache
startup phase).

Is this correct?
