What automation system are you using that is not at least Apache 2.0
compatible?

The last release was 2 years ago, so probably not *that* popular ;)

Please post the full errors so that a solution may be found.

I don't believe that 1.9 was ever tested on a 64-bit platform.

Perhaps someone on this list has it working (if so please post a patch
and/or instructions)?

We cannot support 1.9 anymore (the platform and code base are too
radically different that I just do not have the resources).  Perhaps if
you *must* use Apache 1.3, you could place an Apache 2.2 version in
front of it as a reverse proxy and put a recent version of ModSecurity
on that?
