[fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests

It should be working.

You have to make sure you delete the httpd13 and httpd20 directories 
from your fpc units folder (where httpd.o and .ppu is stored) so only 
the httpd22 folder remains there. Otherwise the wrong units might be 
linked with your module and then crash when called.

With the latest Lazarus SVN you can find some examples for web apache 
modules and cgi programs under the lazarus /components/fpweb/demo/ folder.
