Reads all virtual hosts correctly and php works. when started with mod_ssl after a certain amount of vhosts is reached it either core dumps or php does not work at all. The one core dump i got was most likely cause i was using up to much virtual memory and was my fault but the fact that apache stops working with php when started with ssl is a big problem that you should address now before you get to many complaints or hackers running buffer overflow exploits on that core i got. >How-To-Repeat: if you need i can send you an example httpd.conf file so you can core dump apache or see that php stops working with ssl after a certain amount of vhosts is reached >Fix: I have not looked at the source for mod_ssl but i would imagine it is a question of mallocing enough buffer space for very large vhost sites. Which buffer is the cause is hard to say. Maybe loading mod_ssl into apache's memory space consumes to much and should be increased. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
