A new version of apache2-mpm-itk (2.2.11-01) is available. The biggest change is that you can now do AssignUserID in <Directory> and <Location> sections. Reproducible: Always
This new version also fixes an important race condition that comes up quite frequently when performing a graceful restart on a busy machine. For this reason, I'd consider it having closer to a "normal" severity leve. The full changelog is: * NOTE: This release contains major new functionality. As with mpm-itk in general, you may want to consider closely whether you actually want to put it in production. Also note that Apache 2.0 is no longer supported. * Updated for Apache 2.2.11 (in particular, prefork had a few minor changes that are now incorporated). * Allow uid/gid and nice value to be set per-directory (actually per-location) in addition to per-vhost. Adapted from patch by Knut Auvor Grythe. * Some minor code cleanups. * If waitpid() is interrupted by a signal (returning EINTR), try again. This fixes a race condition where a graceful restart could fail and hang the child forever. Adapted from patch by Jan Boysen, who also diagnosed and reported the bug. * As a side effect of the per-directory patches doing proper config merging, you can now set default values for all options outside the vhost definitions and have them get properly overridden by settings in more specific scopes. * Fix a small memory leak on reload by using apr_pstrdup() instead of strdup().
The latest version is now 2.2.11-02, updated 2009-04-14. Full changelog: apache2.2-mpm-itk 2.2.11-02, released 2009-04-14: * Really fix the waitpid() code; thanks to Dave Cundiff for spotting the typo. * Add CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH to the list of capabilities, so Apache can read .htaccess files that are not world readable. This should fix some of the "permission denied" problems that cropped up in 2.2.11-01, although you will still see the problem if you use root-squashed NFS. An update would be super :)
Works for me! :)
Sorry, the previous comment was indented for a different bug! Other than that - any news on this? There are many improvements in versions 2.2.11-01 and 2.2.11-02 of mpm-itk, listed above, and really should be taken into consideration for its update. Thanks again.
new version added to 2.2.11-r1
