On my system (gentoo 64bit, apache-2.4.20), running an httpd test gives me -- 8< -- Initialized empty Git repository in /home/pclouds/w/git/temp/t/trash directory.t5539-fetch-http-shallow/.git/ checking prerequisite: NOT_ROOT mkdir -p "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/prereq-test-dir" && ( cd "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/prereq-test-dir" && uid=$(id -u) && test "$uid" != 0 ) prerequisite NOT_ROOT ok [Sun Jun 12 10:42:19.958873 2016] [core:crit] [pid 31585] AH00136: Server MUST relinquish startup privileges before accepting connections.

Are you running a version that has 5922322 (t/lib-httpd: load mod_unixd, 2015-05-11)? -Peff ``` ## Duy Nguyen, 2016-06-12 14:20 Subject: Re: lib-httpd/apache.conf and mod_unixd.so Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CACsJy8BSF0PxkHoEXkW7nT4dn2ELnUuQA4VZSNZYgVWwerb-kA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20160612130044.GB15289@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 8:00 PM, Jeff King wrote: > On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 05:48:42PM +0700, Duy Nguyen wrote: > >> A quick search shows that loading mod_unixd.so will do (and did make >> httpd run for me).
