XML validation problem in apache when upgrading SP from v2 to v3

[Simon McLeish]

Just to record the final resolution of this problem in case anyone has it
in future. (I ran into it again upgrading a second SP.)

The solution is to make sure to stop and start apache, not to use the
graceful restart option. Graceful does not reload the XML schemas from
/usr/share/xml, which means that if there is a part of the shib config
(such as a RequestMapper) which is loaded by mod_shib, then apache is
trying to validate the XML without the v3 schema. This is not picked up
using either shibd -t or apachectl configtest, as these load the v3 schema
on run time.

So not a bug in Shibboleth, the issue just went away when I fully restarted
apache.

Cheers,
Simon
