Run apache with the '-X' switch. This will start it in single process mode.

 Subject:  Debugging Apache 2
 
 Hi all! 
 Following situation: I need to debug a bigger apache httpd 2 module...
 Currently I 
 am using Apache Httpd 2.0.44... 
  
 My biggest problem is to start Apache as a single process. How can I tell
 apache 
 to start only one process, because I do not know how to debug a child
 process (or 
 several child processes). 
  
 Thanks in advance, Josef

 7808,
  7770, 10020ef11) + 45c
 
 get_req() doesn't call memset() directly except in the expansion of the 
 apr_pcalloc() macro.  With 0 for the first parm to memset(), it would 
 seem that apr_palloc() returns 0 (i.e., it fails due to out-of-storage 
 condition) which then results in memset() puking.
 
 But look at the 3rd parm to memset(), which is huge.  I guess some field 
 in cgi_req_t that controls one of the storage allocation requests is 
 bogus, and thus the apr_palloc() returns 0 because it was told to get a 
 bogus amount of storage.
 
 Can you dump out the storage of the 5th parm to get_req()?  I guess that 
 is 0x7770.  On a 32-bit Linux build, cgi_req_t is 64 bytes. 
   Try dumping out 100 bytes just to be safe.
 
 The next step would be to guess what happens in the cgid handler to 
 cause something bogus to be in the cgid_req_t.  Hopefully knowing what 
 is bogus would yield a theory.

Scalability of mod_cgid

2003-03-27 Thread Steve Sabljak
Currently with apache 2.0.43 (64 bit, Solaris 8, worker mpm), under high load,
we're seeing lots of connection refused to the cgi daemon in the error log.

Am I right in saying mod_cgid forks new processes as they're required?
Would a pre-forking cgi daemon be worth implementing?

cheers,
Steve

Hi Ian,

I'm aware of fastcgi and mod_{php,perl}. We currently run some pure cgis
with apache 1.3.27 under high load and have found apache 2.0.43's pure cgi
serving
ability not able to match apache 1's under the same load. Over time we will
be moving
the last few remaining pure cgi's to mod_perl.

 Hi Steve,
 you  may want to look at fastcgi, or perhaps even a embeded option like
 php or mod_perl,
 instead of using pure cgi for high load applications.
