Hi Yann,
When I am setting Mutex pthread or Mutex Pthread default in httpd.conf,
getting following error
AH00526: Syntax error on line 42 of
/home/hemant_super/hemant/dev_11oct/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid Mutex argument pthread (Mutex mechanisms are: 'none', 'default',
'fcntl:/path/to/file', 'file:/path/to/file', 'sysvsem', 'sem')
When I tried with Mutex None, it is giving below error
/home/hemant_super/hemant/dev_11oct/bin: ./httpd -V
AH00526: Syntax error on line 42 of
/home/hemant_super/hemant/dev_11oct/conf/httpd.conf:
None is not allowed for mutex type default
Any idea why am I getting this error and how to solve it.
Thanks
Hemant
