Hi Cy,

I applied the patch to bsd.apache.mk provided in your original message
and installed the shell archive that I received from you in private
email on a 8.3-STABLE i386 system (r248102) and get the following result:

[root at beastie /usr/ports/www/apache24]# make
===>  apache24-2.4.4 At least one MPM must be selected..
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache24.

If I run make config and add MPM_EVENT and MPM_PREFORK I can build and
install the port but it fails to start with this in
/var/log/httpd-error.log:

[Fri Mar 15 15:17:11.631303 2013] [core:crit] [pid 23518:tid 676335936]
AH00136: Server MUST relinquish startup privileges before accepting
connections.  Please ensure mod_unixd or other system security module is
loaded.
AH00016: Configuration Failed

When I rerun make config to add USERD I can rebuild and reinstall and
can even start without problems. I did not do any more intensive
testing, but at least pages are being served in this way 8-)

I am seeing similar behavior on a 9.1-STABLE amd64 system.

As an aside: do you really intend to make mod_lua default, thus dragging
in the lua-5.1.5 port as a dependency, also for users that do not need
mod_lua?

And are you aware of two other Apache 2.4 ports floating around? See:

and

Kind regards,
