Bug 113911 – Default Apache 1 Install in Cygwin does not work with NRWT

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Brent Fulgham]

Attempting to run the 'new-run-webkit-tests' script on the Apple Windows port fails due to a number of problems with the stock Apache installation included with Cygwin.

1. The default httpd.exe program is Apache 1.3.33, which does NOT support the "-k" argument.  Consequently, the start/stop logic in NRWTs does not work.
2. If you work around the "-k" issue (by modifying the webkitpy sources), it will fail due to the "-C SSLCertificateFile" argument.


A run log follows:

For a variety of reasons we are switching to using lighttpd on Windows.  Therefore, we will not attempt to make NRWT work with apache 1.
