Hello list, I compiled version 2.4.4 from source and created an RPM package, I used a spec file for a 2.2.3 package and changed it where required in order to build successfully. The httpd.conf file used was also for 2.2.3 (with minor changes as defined in the section " Common problems when upgrading" from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html). After going through some errors about modules, for which the solution was described in the documentation, I'm left with a more obscure error. The only thing I can see is in /var/log/httpd/error_log A file authdigest_shm.<pid> is also created, but left empty. Selinux is set to permissive, no entries appear to be logged here. Apr and apr-util versions are 1.4.6 and 1.5.2 respectively. Does anyone have any idea about what's wrong here? # cat /var/log/httpd/error_log [Wed Apr 10 12:44:44.796571 2013] [suexec:notice] [pid 23907] AH01232: suEX= EC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [Wed Apr 10 12:44:44.819405 2013] [auth_digest:notice] [pid 23908] AH01757:= generating secret for digest authentication ...
