Thanks for the feedback. Its technically possible - you can run multiple versions, but its
going to be a nightmare maintaining that.
Well, it's a test system .. but I agree it's going to be a challenge. The version 1.99 is way old , buggy, and unsupported. There have
been a ton of apache updates since 2.4 too -- many of them security related. Add to that there was a GIANT api switch in 2.0.5(?) that isn't backwards compatible. Even if your solution worked, you're only going to be creating new problems. Upgrade your distribution to something stable , if you need to keep it for some crazy reason -- find out exactly why the authcookie isn't working. It shouldn't be difficult to subclass the Authcookie on server 1, and make it work with Apache2::Authcookie. Exactly why is server 1 using apache::authcookie though? Shouldn't it be using apache2::authcookie ? 1.99 is mp2 beta -- the authcookie module (at least one tied to something before the api switch ) should work.
It's the old story -- this was a prototype thrown together that we spent a bit of time developing. It got turned into a piece of code that we used for 'a little processing' .. and then Production. I'm slowly upgrading it and moving it to newer platforms. Thanks again. -- Alex Beamish Toronto, Ontario aka talexb
