Hi. This is just an update to the thread I started re running
Bugzilla on OpenBSD 3.8: Possibly not directly OpenBSD related, but
it might help anyone searching the archives of this list for the same
problem.
(as posted to netscape.public.mozilla.webtools)
"An update on this problem that I had - posted here in case anyone has
the same problem and finds this thread. (Recap: OpenBSD 3.8 + MySQL +
Bugzilla 2.20 or 2.18 - Premature end of server headers error every so
often (not reliably reproduced) with no other error information
anywhere at all)
I traced through the bugzilla code with syslog calls until I hit the
offending line of code that caused everything to fail -
Bugzilla/Auth/Login/WWW/CGI/Cookie.pm: $dbh->do("UPDATE
logincookies SET lastused=NOW() WHERE cookie=?" (etc.)
MySQL didn't complain about the statement - I set all the appropriate
error and tracing flags - but it still silently barfed, so I tried
switching the backend to Postgresql, and everything now works."
Why? No idea - it works now so I'm going to the pub. Hope this helps
someone.
Cheers,
Trystan

Thanks - that page looks like a good place to start. It'll be useful
stuff to know about anyway - I'll start reading.
Much appreciated
