[fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
win32, latest Lazarus and FPC Any single web request call works OK, returning the content. When 2 browsers are open and calling the web module at the same time there is a crash happening after the 2nd one finishes working (just made a loop in the web action which lasts a few seconds to have both requests inside the server at the same time). Details: in /fpc/packages/fcl-web/src/fpapache.pp Function TCustomApacheApplication.ProcessRequest(P: PRequest_Rec) : Integer; Var Req : TApacheRequest; Resp : TApacheResponse; begin Req:=TApacheRequest.CreateReq(Self,P); Try Resp:=TApacheResponse.CreateApache(Req); Try HandleRequest(Req,Resp); <== call happens here OK but 2nd concurrent request does not return, gets lost in the ether Finally Result:=OK; Resp.Free; end; Finally Req.Free; end; end; procedure TCustomApacheApplication.HandleRequest(ARequest: TRequest; AResponse: TResponse); Var MC : TCustomHTTPModuleClass; M : TCustomHTTPModule; MN : String; MI : TModuleItem; begin try MC:=Nil; If (OnGetModule<>Nil) then OnGetModule(Self,ARequest,MC); If (MC=Nil) then begin MN:=GetModuleName(ARequest); If (MN='') and Not AllowDefaultModule then Raise EFPApacheError.Create(SErrNoModuleNameForRequest); MI:=ModuleFactory.FindModule(MN); If (MI=Nil) and (ModuleFactory.Count=1) then MI:=ModuleFactory[0]; if (MI=Nil) then begin Raise EFPApacheError.CreateFmt(SErrNoModuleForRequest,[MN]); end; MC:=MI.ModuleClass; end; M:=FindModule(MC); // Check if a module exists already If (M=Nil) then begin M:=MC.Create(Self); M.Name := '';//without this there's a crash due to same name end; M.HandleRequest(ARequest,AResponse);//calls the web action here, works OK for both concurrent requests except On E : Exception do ShowRequestException(AResponse,E); end; end; <== everything works, but the 2nd concurrent request crashes after here but before returning to the caller function A little bit strange that this happens.

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
After some more debugging the result is even stranger: If I reduce the code to the bare minimum there is still a crash most of the time. 1. works always for 2 concurrent requests: procedure TCustomApacheApplication.HandleRequest(ARequest: TRequest; AResponse: TResponse); Var MC : TCustomHTTPModuleClass; M : TCustomHTTPModule; MN : String; MI : TModuleItem; i:Integer; begin MI:=ModuleFactory[0]; MC:=MI.ModuleClass; M:=MC.Create(Self); M.Name := ''; aresponse.content := 'Hello'; for i := 0 to Maxint do;//time wasting loop, about 5 secs end; 2. crashes randomly: begin MI:=ModuleFactory[0]; MC:=MI.ModuleClass; M:=MC.Create(Self); M.Name := ''; M.HandleRequest(ARequest,AResponse); for i := 0 to Maxint do;//time wasting loop, about 5 secs end;//<= sometimes crash after here but before returning to caller function 3. always crashes: begin try MI:=ModuleFactory[0]; MC:=MI.ModuleClass; M:=MC.Create(Self); M.Name := ''; aresponse.content := 'Hello'; for i := 0 to Maxint do;//time wasting loop, about 5 secs except On E : Exception do ShowRequestException(AResponse,E); end; end;//<= guaranteed crash after here but before returning to caller function When M.HandleRequest(ARequest,AResponse); is used instead of aresponse.content := 'Hello'; the crash is random at procedure return for the 2nd simultaneous caller. When the procedure contains any try/except it is guaranteed not returning (crashing) after the work is finished for the 2nd caller (2nd simultaneaous request). The first simultaneous caller always works without a problem. Any suggestions? ABorka wrote: win32, latest Lazarus and FPC Any single web request call works OK, returning the content.

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
Hi Michael, Unfortunately, I do not have any C compilers - nor the knowledge to compile something with the apache header files in C. I manually compared the .h/.inc and the translated pascal structures/records for the two you have mentioned (module_struct and request_rec) and they seem to have the same fields, nothing added to them so far till Apache 2.2.9 . For me in Windows XP 32bit/ FPC: sizeof(request_rec)=416 sizeof(module_struct)=56 Not sure if it is a full list but in the apr header files (ap_mmn.h) there's a change list: . .snip I believe the translation happened for 2.2.3 so those are included . +* 20051115.4 (2.2.4) Added ap_get_server_banner() and * ap_get_server_description() (minor) * 20051115.5 (2.2.5) Added ap_mpm_safe_kill() (minor) * 20051115.6 (2.2.7) Added retry_set to proxy_worker (minor) +* 20051115.7 (2.2.7) Added conn_rec::clogging_input_filters (minor) * 20051115.8 (2.2.7) Added flags to proxy_alias (minor) +* 20051115.9 (2.2.7) Add ap_send_interim_response API * 20051115.10(2.2.7) Added ap_mod_status_reqtail (minor) * 20051115.11(2.2.7) Add *ftp_directory_charset to proxy_dir_conf * 20051115.12(2.2.8) Add optional function ap_logio_add_bytes_in() to mog_logio * 20051115.13(2.2.9) Add disablereuse and disablereuse_set * to proxy_worker struct (minor) * 20051115.14(2.2.9) Add ap_proxy_ssl_connection_cleanup and * add *scpool, *r and need_flush to proxy_conn_rec * structure * 20051115.15(2.2.9) Add interpolate_env to proxy_dir_conf and * introduce proxy_req_conf. The ones marked with '+' I added to my httpd.inc and httpd_protocol.inc files. The rest were for apache mods (mod_proxy, etc.) so ignored them. The crash did not go away. At least on Windows, Apache loads the module and executes it sometimes. On Linux the apache modules compiled don't even load.

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
Try installing an older Apache. I installed here with XAMMP, Apache 2.2.9 and it just quits without any error message when loading my Pascal module. But when using the standard Apache 2.2.6 in Mandriva 2008 it works. Actually I can't get it to show the page (some config problem?), but it loads without problems, apache keeps working. I think something changed in an incompatible way. This is pretty unexpected, as I hoped that they would keep compatibility between all 2.2.x series. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
I'm not sure that something is changed to make it incompatible. The apache modules compiled on windows are only crashing if multiple requests are coming at the same time, and they are crushing at function/procedure returns (Yes, on Linux it is even worse, since no module gets even loaded by apache. That might be some C API translation problem). Even if reduced to this small code it crushes (but only if multiple calls are inside this code) on windows: === Function TCustomApacheApplication.ProcessRequest(P: PRequest_Rec) : Integer; Var Req : TApacheRequest; Resp : TApacheResponse; i:integer; begin Req:=TApacheRequest.CreateReq(Self,P); Try Resp:=TApacheResponse.CreateApache(Req); Try for i := 0 to maxint do ;//Time wasting for multiple requests at the same time to run this code // HandleRequest(Req,Resp); // If Not Resp.ContentSent then //Resp.SendContent; Finally Result:=OK; Resp.Free;//<= crashes after here randomly for 2nd simultaneous caller end; Finally Req.Free; end; end; == Sometimes when removing all the try/finally pairs from the function it works. But then adding more code, even as simple as DateTimeToStr(Now), makes it crash. Sometimes more code can be added but then it will crash inside that code somewhere at function/procedure returns.

This is a known problem; the heap manager does not function correctly in a DLL when an external program (apache, in this case) creates new threads. Changing the heap manager to the C heap manager (just add 'uses cmem' as the first line in the project) may solve the problem, but it is not guaranteed; there was another bug in the memory manager which prevented that from working correctly. Maybe it has been fixed meanwhile. Michael. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

It is not that simple. The heap manager cannot handle situations where threads have been started by code that is not aware of the FPC threading mechanisms - such as apache. I have done some changes for this, but they are not sufficient. PThreads has no mechanisms for dealing with this situation. Windows does (using the DLL_THREAD_ATTACH message).

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
Could it be then related to the Apache method of working? Apache has a non-threaded version and several threaded versions. In my Mandriva where it didn't crash I installed the non-threaded version. (not sure if it won't create threads anyway for something else, even if it works in a non-threaded principle). I cannot find in the XAMMP website if they use the threaded or non-threaded version. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
Well, it seems we have some progress now. The WaitForThreadTerminate(BeginThread(@__dummythread), 300); seems to fix it on Windows. At least for 2 concurrent requests. For some reason Apache cannot seem to want to run more than 2 requests at a time. If more comes in at a time, the first 2 starts running and the rest have to wait till at least 1 current request is handled. Even when MaxConnectionsPerServer is set to higher than 2 in the registry. uses cmem; did not fix the crash on Windows. I will try to make apache modules load in Linux next so some tests can be done there too.

OK, after 4 days of pulling my (remaining) hair out I was able to compile a basic C apache module on Ubuntu 8.04 (apache 2.2.8).

Still, the Lazarus compiled apache module doesn't even load in apache (mod_hello.pp or any of the other examples included in fpc).

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
Hi Jonas, This seems to work on Windows (and solves the problem), but on Linux WaitForThreadTerminate waits forever. WaitForThreadTerminate(BeginThread(@__dummythread), 300); apache just waits and doesn't start until I stop the apache loading with ctrl+c, as if it is in an infinite loop and waiting. Any thoughts?

The apache modules compiled on windows are only crashing if multiple requests are coming at the same time, and they are crushing at function/procedure returns (Yes, on Linux it is even worse, since no module gets even loaded by apache. That might be some C API translation problem). Maybe you have to initialise the threading system so all the necessary locks in the system unit get activated. Something like {$ifdef unix} uses cthreads; {$endif} ... function dummythread(p: pointer): ptrint; begin end; initialisation WaitForThreadTerminate(BeginThread(@dummythread)); end.

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
Does this was fixed? I'm trying to deploy an apache 2.2.9 module, it compiles and loads ok (it doesn't crash apache) but its exported function isn't called, I'm using the same code ABorka used in this example.

Re: [fpc-devel] Lazarus Apache module crashes during concurrent requests
It should be working. You have to make sure you delete the httpd13 and httpd20 directories from your fpc units folder (where httpd.o and .ppu is stored) so only the httpd22 folder remains there. Otherwise the wrong units might be linked with your module and then crash when called. With the latest Lazarus SVN you can find some examples for web apache modules and cgi programs under the lazarus /components/fpweb/demo/ folder. AB Leonardo M. Ramé wrote: Does this was fixed?
