Re: [OT] Forcing httpd's to not swap out of memory

Thanks. I think the idea of sending a useless signal is the best so far.
I'm also going to upgrade my kernel and see if I can get more meaningful
output from ps.

btw, is anyone using the 2.6 kernel on live servers yet?

Hi there,

Nearly did it, then I ran into problems with a VPN which only happen
with the 2.6 kernel.  Given the networking nature of the problems I
thought better of it.  This was with 2.6.x where x <= 1 so YMMV.

Ali, mod_perl 1.99.24 doesn't exist. Please take a look 
http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ to learn how we expect you to send us bug reports.

[mp2] "!!! server failed to start!" - all else fine(??)

Dear mod_perl experts,

I am trying to upgrade my mod_perl 1.99 from 09 to 12 on my Red Hat-9
box, but after upgrading Apache to 2.0.48 and Perl to 5.8.3 (both clean
installs from source,) After a successful configure and make, the make
test produces the error:  "!!! server failed to start!".  Alas, ps shows
that the process indeed started.  

I have uninstalled the Apache Red Hat RPM and searched for any leftover
cruft.  Apache is installed "apache-like" in /usr/local/apache2.  I've
appended highlights from the install process below.  Anyone have some
insights on this or troubleshooting suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Edouard! 

P.S. Yes, the original mod_perl 1.99_09 install was from source and all
tests were successful.

Apache-Cookie

Hello,

With the following server environment:  SERVER_SOFTWARE = "Apache/2.0.47 
(Win32) mod_perl/1.99_10-dev Perl/v5.8.0 PHP/4.3.2",
and libapreq2 installed via PPM,  I am not able to load Apache::Cookie. 
I would appreciate hearing about any success with this configuration.

Thanks,

With a slightly different configuration (Apache/2.0.48,
current cvs mod_perl, Perl/5.8.3) on Win32, I don't have
any fundamental problems. A few things to check:
- Is there anything in Apache's error log?
- Do you have similar problems with Apache::Request?
- Does a directive
   LoadFile "/Path/to/libapreq2.dll"
in httpd.conf help?
- Does mod_perl 2 work OK?

Thanks for the suggestions. Mod-perl2 works OK. No complaints from 
Apache::Request. I added the appropriate LoadFile directive, and now get 
the following error stack:
