Hi all,

I am stuck trying to get the httpd-test to run on MacOS, it fails like =
this:

waiting 60 seconds for server to start: .httpd(79703,0x7ff854dfb180) =
malloc: nano zone abandoned due to inability to reserve vm space.
...httpd: Syntax error on line 95 of =
/Users/minfrin/src/apache/sandbox/httpd/httpd-test-github/t/conf/httpd.con=
f: Cannot load =
/Users/minfrin/src/apache/sandbox/httpd/httpd-test-github/c-modules/test_s=
ession/.libs/mod_test_session.so into server: =
dlopen(/Users/minfrin/src/apache/sandbox/httpd/httpd-test-github/c-modules=
/test_session/.libs/mod_test_session.so, 0x000A): symbol not found in =
flat namespace '_ap_hook_session_decode'
httpd: abnormal exit 1

Looking inside the test configs, there appears to be no attempt anywhere =
to load mod_session, and so the failure makes sense. The module is built =
fine using reallyall, no obvious reason why it should be excluded.

Has anyone seen this at all?

Regards,
Graham
