Problem after recompiling apache

[Odhiambo Washington]

Dear Ladies an Gentlemen,

I am writing to seek expert advise on the following:


Platfrom : FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE
Apps     : Apache_1.3.29, mod_ssl-2.8.16-1.3.29, mod_perl-1.29 php-4.3.5

After recompiling the above (I use a home-brewed script), apache fails
to start.

I get the following error in httpd-error.log:

[Sat Mar 27 10:58:52 2004] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down 
[Sat Mar 27 10:59:01 2004] [warn] make_sock: problem listening on port 80, \
filedescriptor (1074) larger than FD_SETSIZE (1024) found, you probably need \
to rebuild Apache with a larger FD_SETSIZE

Now, if I modify /usr/include/sys/types.h to change 1024 to 2048 (This
is madness, I am sure) and recompile apache, it runs fine.

Can someone please help me out of this. My solution is not perfect, even
in my mind, as I am sure it will break something on the system.

My scripts to compile apache are here:

Thanks in advance.
