Topic: 32bit or 64bit apache 2.2.15

[amouse]

Apologies in advance if I'm making a fundamental error ...

I've been using the 64 bit Apache 2 server from blackdot
http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/binaries
for some time.

I was at level 2.2.14 and then I recently upgraded to 2.2.15 However all is not well

the MaxConnPerIP module seems not to work at all

Then I noticed with httpd.exe -V

X:\apache64\bin>httpd.exe -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Win64)
Server built: Oct 10 2009 15:18:16
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:23
Server loaded: APR 1.3.9, APR-Util 1.3.9
Compiled using: APR 1.3.9, APR-Util 1.3.9
Architecture: 64-bit
Server MPM: WinNT
threaded: yes (fixed thread count)
forked: no

but for 2.2.15 I get

httpd -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Win32)
Server built: Mar 12 2010 19:22:22
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:24
Server loaded: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9
Compiled using: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9
Architecture: 64-bit
Server MPM: WinNT
threaded: yes (fixed thread count)
forked: no


Is the new release really 64 bit?

[glsmith]

It certainly tells me it is 64 bit. Believe the architecture over the server token. If it were really 32bit it would say it

Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Win32)
Server built: Mar 15 2010 12:51:48
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:24
Server loaded: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9
Compiled using: APR 1.4.2, APR-Util 1.3.9
Architecture: 32-bit
Server MPM: WinNT

The "Win32" token is provided by this code

#ifdef WIN32
....
#define PLATFORM "Win32"

There is no definition for Win64 yet, it has been requested. There are however forks in the code for Win64 so there is code specific to Win64 compiled in that should be.
