Subject: [Auth_ldap] util_ldap_cache & shared memory failureSorry for the cross post, but I'm not sure which group
is appropriate.I am getting the following message in my apache error log
[Wed Dec 18 11:23:18 2002] [debug] util_ldap_cache.c(307): (17)Do not specify an existing file.
I believe I have tracked this down to a problem with util_ldap_cache.c.
util_ldap.c has registered its util_ldap_init_module() function to be called
during "child_init" as follows:ap_hook_child_init(util_ldap_init_module, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_MIDDLE);
util_ldap_init_module() in turn calls util_ldap_cache_init() (contained in util_ldap_cache.c).
util_ldap_cache_init() tries to create a shared memory segment by calling apr_shm_create()
as follows:
result = apr_shm_create(&util_ldap_shm, reqsize, "/tmp/ldap_cache", pool);This call fails for all but the first time it is called... with the message shown at the top.
The failure causes util_ldap_cache_init() to return immediately... and not complete the function.
The failure is because apr_shm_create() expects the file, "/tmp/ldap_cache", to be non-existent...
...and it will create it... if it exists, then the function fails.If I'm not mistaken, I don't believe the shared memory should be "created" for each child.
Using mod_auth_digest, and mod_ssl as a model... it appears it should be created in a
ap_hook_post_config() hook.Does this seem correct???
Here's my Environment:
Version: Apache 2.0.42
OS: AIX 4.3.3
Compiler: IBM C for AIX version 6.0Thanks,
