Hi,

I have a plan to update www/apache24 to 2.4.3.
With this update, I will meke --enable-mpms-shared='event prefork
worker'
default. Then www/apache24 lacks mod_cgi.so module at all,
of course mod_cgid.so exists.

Any objection?

I will update www/apache24 this weekend.
What is the failure mode for someone with an existing mod_cgi using
system - is it easy to determine that you need to switch to cgid?
I am not user of mod_cgi.so module.
But according to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_cgi.html ,
mod_cgi.so and mod_cgid.co has same function.
Perhaps someone who had used mod_cgi.so can modify LoadModule line
only.

(but in general I'm in favour :)

I've used both mod_cgi and mod_cgid under apache 2.2 with no
issues. Didn't even have to change any other configuration lines other
than the change to use the different LoadModule as long as your happy
with the the default location of the socket used by mod_cgid.
Thank you.

Chrooting apache my require further config changes with respect to the
socket directory.
What is the difference between default httpd.conf and your requirement?
I have no plan to modify default httpd.conf,
but I can write it into MESSAGE.

That should have read "Chrooting apache may require ....". I currently don't run in this config so no changes required.

Is there going to be a message about this change when installing
apache 2.4 package?
I will write announcement of mod_cgi.so retirement in MESSAGE.

Great.
