G'day, Just did a usual update and now mod_perl breaks apache with a seg fault.
In /etc/apache/httpd.conf LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so Commenting out the above line and apache works fine. I've got installed: /usr/bin/dpkg -l '*mod-perl*' | grep ^ii Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==================-==================-==================================================== ii libapache-mod-perl 1.27-4 Integration of perl with the Apache web server ii libapache-mod-perl 1.29.0.1-1cvs20031 mod_perl documentation An 'strace apache' shows: open("/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.2/AutoLoader.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/perl5/AutoLoader.pmc", 0xbfffb300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/perl5/AutoLoader.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/share/perl5/AutoLoader.pmc", 0xbfffb300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/perl5/AutoLoader.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/perl/5.8.2/AutoLoader.pmc", 0xbfffb300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/perl/5.8.2/AutoLoader.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/share/perl/5.8.2/AutoLoader.pmc", 0xbfffb300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/perl/5.8.2/AutoLoader.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4 ioctl(4, TCGETS, 0xbfffb10c) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) _llseek(4, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR) = 0 read(4, "package AutoLoader;\n\nuse strict;"..., 4096) = 4096 read(4, " \'lib\').\n #\n\n (my $calldir"..., 4096) = 841 _llseek(4, 4936, [4936], SEEK_SET) = 0 _llseek(4, 0, [4936], SEEK_CUR) = 0 close(4) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Which is what lead me to look at mod_perl as the culprit ... I'll be rebooting the box Monday morning, as I'm connected to the net via South Africa's telskum provider for the weekend @ 7 Rand if there's no interruption. Hopefully a reboot will fix it, probably not though as this ain't no wincrap box, but you never know. Any how this stuff really should not happen in testing, or should it? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Cheers, Sabio -- >> Sabio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
