Re: Segmentation fault but even httpd -X == no core dump???

[Cliff Woolley]

This is IIRC... somebody correct me if I'm wrong:   For future reference (because it's easier), you can use gdb directly to get your backtrace without having to modify your config file.  You just launch httpd through gdb like so, then tell gdb to set the -X argument and run the program:   # gdb /path/to/httpd (gdb) set args -X (gdb) run   Then do whatever it is that makes Apache segfault.  gdb will stop the program upon the segv and leave the core in memory so you can do your backtrace or whatever.   --Cliff     Cliff Woolley Central Systems Software Administrator Washington and Lee University http://www.wlu.edu/~jwoolley/   Work: (540) 463-8089 Pager: (540) 462-2303 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/09/00 04:14AM >>> OK guys, thanks very much for your help. I've managed to get a backtrace by following Gianni's suggestion and running httpd under gdb.
