** Description changed: This problem is only seen in 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.7. There was no crash under 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6 After connecting to an Oracle database (through Catalyst and DBIx::Class) in a Perl script using PerlRequire or PerlPostConfigRequire, apache2 will silently die. No error messages show up in the error.log. If Apache2::ServerUtil::restart_count() is used to only run the database connection in restart 2 or greater, apache2 will run as normal. However, if apache2 is restarted using apache2ctl restart, an error message like this is displayed: [Fri Dec 02 00:35:09 2011] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process - - This problem was seen using DBD::Oracle 1.28 and Oracle Instant Client 11.2.0.1.0. + This problem was seen using DBD::Oracle 1.28 and Oracle Instant Client + 11.2.0.1.0. I tried the same configuration on Ubuntu 11.11 and apache2 2.2.20-1ubuntu1.1, but did not see the crash. + + I am not an expert on the internals of apache2, but it looks like this + has something to do with loading Oracle into memory and the way the + database handle is shared between a parent and a child after a fork. + DBIx::Class claim to do "the right thing" with database connections when + forking, but somehow that is not enough with this new build of apache2. The most urgent problem I am having is that it is difficult to revert to version 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6 (it is no longer available through apt-get install apache2=2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6). I am reluctant to revert back to 2.2.14-5ubuntu8, but I may do that if there is not an easy way to revert back to a previous security update.
