I could have written your email word for word! I've been trying to keep Apache/mod_ssl running on WIN32 since early December, and still haven't figured out what's wrong. Josef's patch seemed to work for him, but even after applying it, my SSL-enabled Apache only runs a few minutes under heavy load before crashing.
As far as getting a debug version built, I've had lots of trouble with that as well. It seems to build just fine in debug mode in Visual C++, but when I attempt to debug the EXE after a crash, I get no source code to trace. Is there anyone out there successfully running an SSL-enabled version of Apache on WIN32? If so, did you have to do anything special? And either way, does someone have a write-up explaining how to put together a debug build? Thanks.

I applied his patch to ap_ctx.c , that cures the crash in most of the cases in ap_ctx_get() adds: if ((ctx==NULL) || (key==NULL)) { ap_log_assert("ap_ctx_get_bug: ctx or key are NULL!", __FILE__, __LINE__); return NULL; } and i also added the same check in ap_ctx_set. The problem is that sometimes mod_ssl calls such functions with ctx set to null and key set to null, and crashes apache. I have had other crashes which i haven't been able to debug ( how do i properly build a debug version of apache-ssl on win32 ? when the visual c debug window pops up after a crash all i can see is assembly code ). As reported by Josef the "null" calls seem to be generated by ssl_io_suck_read() in ssl_engine_io.c, but why does it happen ? is there some memory corruption going inside mod_ssl that causes the structures to be set to null ? Apache with aforementioned patch is "almost" stable but... i have the sensation that there is a problem somewhere else. - Enrico ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
