Hello,

Ubuntu 13.10 makes apache 2.4 the default apache, meaning the next long-term support release of ubuntu will have apache 2.4 as the default as well.  Others will likely soon follow suit.

Please update CF 10 to support apache 2.4 as well as 2.2.

I replaced the mod_jk.so supplied by adobe with one compiled for apache 2.4, and requests make it to CF, but CF returns an error that it can't read from the socket.

Thanks,

Jonathan Morgan

External Test Config: My Hardware and Environment details: running CF 10 on ubuntu with apache 2 and mysql.  Was at 13.04, upgraded to 13.10 without realizing that it swapped apache versions.  Not sure what I'm going to do going forward - I need at least 13.04 because of hardware driver problems...

Comments:

I've attached a copy of mod_jk.c with the changes needed to make it compile against apache 2.4. It likely isn't updated in such a way that it still supports apache 2.2, but the changes were very minor, should be easy to put in place. Specifically: - replace all mentions of "`r->connection->remote_ip`" with "`r->connection->client_ip`" (lines 832 and 1106). - replace all mentions of "`r->connection->remote_addr`" with "`r->connection->client_addr`" (line 833). - changed calls to ap_log_error in lnes 735 and 741: from: ap_log_error(file, line, APLOG_MODULE_INDEX, level, 0, s, res); to: ap_log_error(file, line, APLOG_MODULE_INDEX, APLOG_ERR, level, 0, s, res);

Last piece of the puzzle keeping me from a full 2.4 upgrade.

this is long overdue, 2.4 has been out for a long time now, given the simplicity of the fix here, it should be rolled into the installer as an option when you install CF

Also, just to follow up, I've been using the Adobe version of the mod_jk connector, modified as per the first note and then compiled and installed (details: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5819807), on my ubuntu 13.10 server with apache 2.4, and it has been perfectly stable. I've had no problems.

Apache 2.4 has bean around for nearly two years now, looking towards the future, we need support asap. With the upcoming release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which only comes with Apache 2.4, we need it for the new and upgraded servers.

Upcoming release means - if you want apache 2.4, you have to buy CF11. Thank you adobe - great support... Smell that little sarcasm there?
