Having struggled to get MS FrontPage working on my Apache-SSL 1.2.6 server
I have diagnosed the problem as follows:
FrontPage implements security using a key file, named after the process
group the server is running in. This is only correctly available after
the call to detach() in standalone_main(). FrontPage is therefore depen-
dant on that second call to init_modules() that the SSL patch has removed
(because the SSL module does not like to be initialized twice.)
I will suggest that the SSL module implements its own protection against
this, and leave the http_main unchanged, to avoid problems for other
modules. Right now I have to do an immediate kill -HUP of the server to
get FrontPage up.
btw, i am using version 1.13 of the apache patch, but I see no change to
this part of the code in the 1.16 version
