Hi, I just recently joined the mail list and did a quick check but didn't seen any report of this problem:
Versions: perl-5.6.1 (non-threaded) apache-2.0.40 (mpm-prefork) mod_perl-1.99_05 OS: HPUX 11 Compiler: gcc version 3.2 20020708 (experimental) I don't know the code well enough to know what data/values are expected to be found in dconf, but here is a possible work around (most likely less than ideal solution) in the affected portion of C code (src/modules/perl/modperl_pcw.c): + if( (! dconf) || (! dconf->sec_file) ) + return; ap_conf_vector_t **dirs = (ap_conf_vector_t **)dconf->sec_file->elts; However after doing that, I get problems in other places... back to the drawing board I guess. For your reference, here is how I built mod_perl: /opt/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL MP_INST_APACHE2=1 \ MP_AP_PREFIX=/opt/apache2/2.0.40_debug \ MP_DEBUG=1 MP_TRACE=1 gdb /opt/apache2/2.0.40_debug/bin/httpd -core ...
