apache crashing on windows 2008 when listening on localhost

[Steven Hartland]

I'm trying to get our standard apache setup to run under windows 2008
and I've hit a strange issue it seems as soon as I have the following
in httpd.conf apache crashes out under Windows 2008 server:-

Listen 127.0.0.1:81

Removing this line seems to enable apache to at least fire up without
crashing, I need to do more tests to confirm its actually functioning.

This exact config runs fine under XP, 2003, 2003 R2 including 64bit
but under 2008 x64 its not a happy bunny.

The event log seems to indicate this is a crash in the main cygwin
dll so I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like this and
knew a fix?

[crash]
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x432aedd4, 
faulting module cygwin1.dll, version 1005.25.0.0, time
stamp 0x48515e73, exception code 0xc005, fault offset 0x000b3f59, process 
id 0xba4, application start time 0x01c8dc98373a8e9b.
[/crash]

I see there was some updates for 2008 in 1.5.25-11 so I updated just
to be sure just now but no changes. Just in case its relevant as I
know it does change the way netcards are addressed I do have HyperV
install on this machine as well.

Any ideas?

   Regards
   Steve

Re: filenames containing ::, rsync and "file has vanished", ext2fsd being used

[Reini Urban]

I have a weird problem that I cannot quite wrap my head around.

I'm in cygwin trying to rsync from /e/ to /f/,  using

rsync -Dogx -uav --delete /e/ /f/

I get a LOT of error messages of the type

file has vanished: "/e/usr/share/man/man3/Glib::Error.3pm.gz"
file has vanished: "/e/usr/share/man/man3/Gtk2::CodeGen.3pm.gz"
file has vanished: "/e/usr/share/man/man3/Gtk2::Entry.3pm.gz"

If I try to

ls /e/usr/share/man/man3/

then I *also* get lots of error messages that files such as the above
"do not exist". But of course they do exist, othwerwise ls would not
know that it should be complaining about them :). There is a whole
bunch of other files, in the same dir, NOT containing "::" in their 
names that is not being complained about.


What gives? It may be relevant that /e and /f are ext2 partitions that
are mounted using the ext2fsd package.

I do not think this is the "rsync unicode , file has vanished" problem
that I have read about on the web, since :: is not unicode.

Does anyone want to suggest a way to get around this? I think since
ls exhibits the same problem it should not be rsync's fault, but it may 
possibly relate to ext2fsd rather than cygwin.


Try mounting those two as managed.

mount -f -s -b -o managed "e:/usr" /e/usr
mount -f -s -b -o managed "f:/usr" /f/usr

Installation on Vista stops

[Kjeld Flarup Christensen]

Hi

When I try to install 1.5.25-14 and runs setup.exe I never succeed. It
often stops with this error window:

[Window Title]
Microsoft Windows
[Main Instruction]
bash.exe has stopped working
[Content]
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the
program.
[Close the program]

I also have an old installation image made on 1.5.24.2 from which I
tried to run xfree but that was unstable when the computer was locked
the x server went into 100% CPU load. 
Plus I have some tool chain which uses an unknown cygwin version, that
also have a sh.exe which stops. 

I'm quite interested in hearing other users experiences with Vista and
if there are some issues with Vista which I need to be aware of.

Huh?  Why did you do that?  This is the entry for the Users group.
It doesn't seem to make sense to rename it for Cygwin.

Works fine for me on 2008 so I assume some local setting which
disallows this.  Did you remove the "Back up privileg and directories"
privilege from the admin's account, by any chance?

You could run this under strace and see what Win32 error message
you get.  It could be helpful.

binutils: ld --export-dynamic

[Yaakov (Cygwin Ports)]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

cgf,

While you're waiting for the binutils list to get back to you, here's
another binutils issue.  This is not a regression in 2.18, but rather a
longstanding difference in Cygwin behaviour versus Linux.

When linking a program with -Wl,--export-dynamic, no symbols are
exported.  The problem arises when the executable needs to either dlopen
itself, or when it has plugins which are "linked" against it.  Both
scenarios are not uncommon, particularly with GNOME software.

While this does work on Linux, it does not work on Cygwin with
- --export-dynamic; only --export-all-symbols, an i386PE-specific flag,
will accomplish this.

I've attached a test case; it's a simplified version of the test used in
LT_SYS_DLOPEN_SELF (prev. AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN_SELF):

$ gcc -o test.exe dlopen-self.c && ./test.exe
status = 0

$ gcc -Wl,--export-dynamic -o test.exe dlopen-self.c && ./test.exe
status = 0

$ gcc -Wl,--export-all-symbols -o test.exe dlopen-self.c && ./test.exe
status = 1

Running 'objdump -p test.exe' will also show that the export table is
only generated in the last case.

I would appreciate your input on this issue.

Help on Windows-executable cygwin file/script

[Francois Hill]

Hi,
I hope I am not breaching too many of the rules for asking a question on 
Cygwin ... ;o)
I have looked up my problem but have not seemed to find an answer 
anywhere, so there goes :



Is there a way to make a Windows exectuable that would run a 'Cygwin 
program' ? That is, automatically (and possibly silently) launch Cygwin 
and make it execute a given script ?*

*

This could be easily done if specifying a file to execute to Cygwin.bat 
were possible :

   C:\ProgramFiles\Cygwin\Cygwin.bat -f myScriptToExecute.sh
but I have not been able to find any reference addressing such a 
possibility.


Thank you for your help,

François Hill

Ok, can you test this patch?

I just uploaded release -5 to my temp sourceware.org location,
but it was not a good sign obviously. I'll repackage.

The linker can swallow the link to the dll directly
(if EU::Liblist::Kid would behave correctly),
or we can generate convenience importlibs when used with 
EU::Liblist::Kid. I believe linking directly to the dll is easier.


But another core failure without testcase.
We have to get rid of all the wrong platform quirks for cygwin finally.

It's not really clear what you want? Make a script executable? 
Executable in Windows?

You should put Cygwin into ProgramFiles. It's an environment, not an 
application. If you just want to run a shell script, then specify the 
interpreter. Cygwin.bat starts a interactive session.

C:\cygwin\bash.exe myScriptToExecute.sh

There doesn't seem to be much reference to this error out there, I've tried

Cron service runs as Local System and I'm not sure where it takes the home

You're certainly adding some interesting variables with ext2fsd involved,
particularly when it comes to permissions.  But in this case, ':' is a
special character in Windows so you're going to see trouble regardless
of your underlying file-system and driver.  The moral of the story is
don't try to do things on Windows that it's not good at. ;-)



Some more information: If I look at /e/usr/share/man/man3/ with 
Windows XP (File) Explorer, the :: files are in fact visible, but I 
cannot operate on them (for example, copy and paste) without getting 
error messages. So Ext2fsd is serving up the files, but some other 
part of the system is balking at the names.


I guess /bin/ls is similar in the sense that it "sees" the file, but 
when it tries to list the name, it runs into some restriction.


I wish there was a way to disable the restriction, maybe even just 
temporarily or on a per-program basis...

Bottom posting is highly encouraged as well as selective trimming to keep

Re: filenames containing ::, rsync and "file has vanished", ext2fsd being used

I have a weird problem that I cannot quite wrap my head around.

I'm in cygwin trying to rsync from /e/ to /f/,  using

rsync -Dogx -uav --delete /e/ /f/

I get a LOT of error messages of the type

file has vanished: "/e/usr/share/man/man3/Glib::Error.3pm.gz"
file has vanished: "/e/usr/share/man/man3/Gtk2::CodeGen.3pm.gz"
file has vanished: "/e/usr/share/man/man3/Gtk2::Entry.3pm.gz"







Does anyone want to suggest a way to get around this? I think since
ls exhibits the same problem it should not be rsync's fault, but it 
may possibly relate to ext2fsd rather than cygwin.


You're certainly adding some interesting variables with ext2fsd involved,
particularly when it comes to permissions.  But in this case, ':' is a
special character in Windows so you're going to see trouble regardless
of your underlying file-system and driver.  The moral of the story is
don't try to do things on Windows that it's not good at. ;-)



Some more information: If I look at /e/usr/share/man/man3/ with Windows 
XP (File) Explorer, the :: files are in fact visible, but I cannot 
operate on them (for example, copy and paste) without getting error 
messages. So Ext2fsd is serving up the files, but some other part of the 
system is balking at the names.


I guess /bin/ls is similar in the sense that it "sees" the file, but 
when it tries to list the name, it runs into some restriction.


I wish there was a way to disable the restriction, maybe even just 
temporarily or on a per-program basis...


That would be a Windows issue.  I don't know of any utility to make
this easier for you, though I wouldn't rule out that one exists.
You may find something on Windows forums.

  Have you ever heard of a thing called a "search engine"?  There's one

gzip --rsyncable patch

[G.W. Haywood]

Hi there,

The version of gzip packaged with cygwin doesn't accept --rsyncable.

I grabbed the latest version of RR's old patch from

http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/gzip.rsync.patch2

and hacked it until it applied cleanly with 'patch -p1 -l' in the
source directory of gzip-1.3.12.

If anyone is interested in applying it to the cygwin sources it's here:

http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/gzip.rsyncable.patch

If you'd like it cleaned up so patch doesn't need all those switches
I'll be happy to do that.

In view of the fundamental nature of gzip on most systems I'd strongly
recommend checking my modifications (and the patch) very carefully if
you intend to use it.

OpenMP and Cygwin

[Ami Marowka]

Dear ALL,

I would like to work with OpenMP-C++ on top of Cygwin.
I installed the LATEST full version of Cygwin.
when I tried to compile:
gcc -fopenmp pi.cpp

I got the message:  "cc1plus: warning: command line option "-fopenmp" is valid 
for D but not for C++"

I found that the gcc version is 3.4.4 !? Is there any reason why the LATEST 
version of Cygwin uses so old gcc version?
It seems that gcc version 3.4.4 does not support OpenMP.

How can install/update my Cygwin with the newest gcc version.

Thanks in advance.
Ami Marowka

This only works with files as they are created.  It won't work on
existing files.  It also munges the names so you won't be able to
read them as easily with non-Cygwin tools.  See

or the Users Guide for more details.

You'll find the topics you raised beaten nearly to death in the mailing 
list archives.  While it's not too difficult to build current g++ (without 
cygwin special patches) on Cygwin, I haven't found anything but 
performance loss for the resulting OpenMP.  Others have discussed the 
weaknesses of the attempting increased usage of exception handling.

Huh?  Why did you do that?  This is the entry for the Users group.
It doesn't seem to make sense to rename it for Cygwin.


Purely for compatibility reasons and has worked fine on XP & 2003

All this works fine on XP and 2003 but is there something silly

Actually, it's worse than that.  As the sunrpc headers use K&R syntax
(nonprototyped functions), g++ won't accept it either way.
