Hi, Martin,
Thanks a lot! I found the root cause after diving into code.
The error is caused by my wrong settings. I try to create a too big
scoreboard file (which is even bigger than my physical memory). The size of
the scoreboard file is generated in *ap_calc_scoreboard_size() as follows:*
scoreboard_size = sizeof(global_score);
scoreboard_size += sizeof(process_score) * server_limit;
scoreboard_size += sizeof(worker_score) * server_limit * thread_limit;
Then, in open_scoreboard(), it uses mmap() to create the scoreboard file by
shared memory which cause the error.
rv = apr_shm_create(&ap_scoreboard_shm, scoreboard_size, NULL,
global_pool); /* anonymous shared memory */
if ((rv != APR_SUCCESS) && (rv != APR_ENOTIMPL)) {
ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_CRIT, rv, ap_server_conf,
APLOGNO(00004)
"Unable to create or access scoreboard "
"(anonymous shared memory failure)");
return rv;
}
I have to say that the system response is really important. If the code can
check the errno and provide accurate information. User will get less
confused.
Thanks again, Martin. I do appreciate your help!!
