[albatross-users] mod_python / RandomModularSessionApp bug

[Paul Hart]

Whoops, so I spoke too soon; I think I have a solution.

in apacheapp.py line 33, change the following:

     def get_servername(self):
         return self.__req.connection.server.server_hostname

into the following:

     def get_servername(self):
         try:
             return self.__req.connection.server.server_hostname
         except:
             return self.__req.hostname

That appears to be working for me. Maybe that's been fixed in 1.10pre1;  
because I want to work with release software, I haven't checked.

Hope that helps!

Paul
