Created attachment 25248 [details] Unified diff against apache-httpd 2.2.15 to provide trunk revision 893027 This is a request to backport trunk rev 893027 to Apache 2.2.(15) and to get this feature included in future 2.2.x releases. Trunk revision: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=893027 Fix was filed as PR 41887, https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41887#c0 Short summary: Add option to skip the documentroot check during httpd start. Purpose: Performance enhancement to httpd startup when slow/potentially unreachable media is used or if there is a large number of VirtualHosts configured. Attached is the backport patch for Apache 2.2 (feel free to admire my ability to cut and paste).
Opening a new report isn't really the way to deal with this. Either add to the existing report, or post to the dev list (the latter may work best if we've dropped the ball on a bug or RFE that matters to you). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 41887 ***
