I recently upgraded my Apache 2.2.22 installation on Win 8.1 to 2.4.9, making all necessary changes (I believe) to the conf files. (Edit: all appears to work OK)

I am puzzled that two files in the format authdigest_shm.xxxx now appear in my logs directory when the server is restarted. (Edit: there is also no httpd.pid file)

I assume this is to do with running digest authentication, but is a new phenomenon since the upgrade.

Is this normal? If not, what conf file setting(s) have I screwed up?!

With thanks.

it is pretty normal. Apache caches the authdigest. shm = shared memory.
