Re: Still warnings in Web Server log

From what I can tell they're somehow hardwired into the software:

the only bad effects in these cases seem to be the warning messages.

I don't use CGI.)

I figured it out, and it isn't all that freaky. Someone wrote me privately and gave me a clue. Apparently, with Apache 1.3.23 and higher they started giving warnings when a module was LoadModule'd and then AddModule'd without doing a ClearModuleList in-between.

Apple loads the modules in question outside of the standard location, which is a list of LoadModule directives, followed by a ClearModuleList, followed by a list of AddModule directives. Since there is no ClearModuleList directive in between Apple's commands, you get the warning. I tried moving the mod_hfs LoadModule and AddModule commands to the standard locations, and the warning went away. Similarly, I tried commenting-out the AddModule command, and the warning went away also.

However, some of the commands in question are in the httpd_macosxserver.conf file, so it becomes more difficult to eliminate the warnings. I decided, since there doesn't appear to be any problem in functionality, I'm going to leave it alone. I don't know what the repercussions would be from commenting-out the AddModule commands.
