Affects: Release Notes project_key: JBEWS zip distribution for RHEL6-i368 and RHEL6-x86_64 is missing following modules compared to RHEL4 and RHEL5 distros. jboss-ews-1.0/httpd/modules/mod_file_cache.so jboss-ews-1.0/httpd/modules/mod_imagemap.so jboss-ews-1.0/httpd/modules/mod_mem_cache.so This is missing functionality so marking it as blocker.
This is the same as our RHEL 6 base httpd package, which is what we merged with when creating the package for RHEL 6.
I checked with the RHEL maintainer of httpd, and they are all obsolete. mod_disk_cache is the only cache module worth using, the others are buggy/incomplete; mod_imagemap has not been useful since around a decade ago when client-side HTML image maps were widely supported.
That explains two modules (mod_file_cache.so, mod_imagemap.so) and I am fine with missing them on RHEL6 then. But what about mod_mem_cache.so? What if somebody has app using this distributed memory caching system. This will be a blocker for them to use RHEL6 and EWS 1.0.2. I was just listening to OpenShift presentation and there is a memcache cartridge supported.
That actually covers all 3 modules. "mod_disk_cache is the only cache module worth using, the others are buggy/incomplete" which covers the mod*cache.so. We still have mod_disk_cache.so in our distribution and that's what should be used.
Yes, you are right. I mixed it with different memcache. So, I am marking this to go to release notes.

I have added this into the release notes in the excluded section: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Web_Server/1.0/html/Release_Notes_1.0.2/removed_items.html Please let me know if this is enough, and if anything needs to change. Thanks.
Thanks, the text looks good to me.
Text looks good, marking this as resolved.
Release notes checked on stage, they're fine.
Unfortunately it had not been resolved. 64-bit distribution contains 32-bit libraries. Anatoliy
Created a new jira, JBPAPP-6934.
