This one has me stumped. After installing with clean tarballs of
apache_1.3.29 and mod_perl-1.29 on a RedHat 9 box, I'm getting a segfault upon making
a request. I'm not executing any perl handler at all - in fact, none are configured in my
httpd.conf. I'm just requesting a file.
The error log reports the following: [notice] child pid 10570 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
I searched the archives, and this one looked relatively close in comparison:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=85025; search_string=apaci%201.29;guest=2149190&t=search_engine
Here is my installation procedure after untarring apache/mod_perl, which follows the docs at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#The_Flexible_Way
... since at some point i want to incorporate PHP and DAV into the build.
> perl Makefile.PL PERL_DEBUG=1 APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.29/src NO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1 ALL_HOOKS=1 PERL_URI_API=1 PERL_UTIL_API=1 PERL_TABLE_API=1
> make
> make install
Now I cd into the apache source tree and run:
> ./configure --prefix=/data/httpd --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --enable-module=most
> make
> make install
When I use this httpd, i get the segfault (details below). However, if change my Makefile.PL args to build
httpd (add DO_HTTPD=1, APACHE_PREFIX=/data/httpd, AND remove PREP_HTTPD=1),
and run make install from the mod_perl distribution directory, the resulting httpd works properly.
Could this be an apache 'make' issue?
Here is my gdb backtrace ... I'm not sure why I get the 'no debugging symbols found' warning,
as I asked for debugging symbols in my MakeFile.pl args (I'm not much of a gdb user, if you couldn't tell)
> gdb httpd
(gdb) run -X -f /data/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Starting program: /data/httpd/bin/httpd -X -f /data/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Server config is dead simple - just a DocumentRoot and a ServerName contained in a VirtualHost (named) directive.
On a side note, my LANG environment variable was set to en_US for the
build, so I theoretically worked around the locale bug referred to here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/ troubleshooting.html#RH_8_and_9_Locale_Issues
Please do let me know if I can provide anymore information, via rebuilding mod_perl/apache with different
arguments, or anything else. I would be happy to do so. Hopefully someone will tell me great news like
'You dolt! You forgot X and Y in your configure script'! Its been a long day in front of the screen ....
Thanks! :)
