Is this with apache 2.4?

In my case (apache 2.4, fedora 21), t/lib-http.sh failed to start the
web server, so the tests above would (succeed trivially but) not run.

Maybe debian is using an apache default config that has mod_unixd built
in, to ease the transition from apache 2.2? Many were bitten by these
new requirements after the switch to 2.4, and some distros may have
worked around that.

Do your tests run with this patch applied?
