All,

I have a bash script that includes

I have a startup.pl script that dies and i exit ... but httpd continues trying to start.

How do I tell httpd to stop if I encounter an error during server startup time?

I've removed the nohup that was before the httpd command and I've tried exit 1 (and 0) in the startup.pl script. All to no avail.

This a snippit of my error log
[error] ModPerl::Util::exit: (120000) exit was called at /path/to/startup.pl line 26Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 1.\n [Tue Nov 28 15:30:14 2006] [error] Can't load Perl file: /path/to/startup.pl for server my.server:0, exiting..

If you need more info, just ask.

Any pointers would be gr8ly appreciated.

I dont know if it will help but I was having similar sounding issue when I switched up to mod_perl2 and found that I had to change the httpd conf line if I wanted errors in my startup script to force the server to fail to configtest/start/restart/graceful/whatever. Changing my PerlRequire to PerlConfigRequire did the trick for me. I also do PerlModule lines for any modules that should be loaded so that errors in those will prevent apache from reloading as well.
