mod_perl-2.0.5 -- nullpointer patch
Hello,
I got a nullpointer from mod_perl2 on a solaris x86 machine in:
#0 0xfca42b00 in ap_pcw_walk_files_config () from /opt/ae/modules/mod_perl.so
#1 0xfca42c9e in ap_pcw_walk_config () from /opt/ae/modules/mod_perl.so
#2 0xfca4294a in modperl_mgv_hash_handlers () from /opt/ae/modules/mod_perl.so
#3 0xfca39029 in modperl_hook_post_config_last () from /opt/ae/modules/mod_perl.so
#4 0x080a2034 in ap_run_post_config (pconf=0x8215970, plog=0x8253a68, ptemp=0x8255a70, s=0x821f5d0) at config.c:91
#5 0x08091ec2 in main (argc=3, argv=0x8047bfc) at main.c:679
My fix:
cd mod_perl-2.0.5/src/modules/perl
vi modperl_pcw.c # ap_pcw_walk_files_config
if (0 == dconf->sec_file) { // nullpointer fix
return;
}
Now the daemon seems to work, but I do not know, why this happens.
Greetings,
Alexander Elgert

I meant the httpd.conf.
The one thing I noticed at the first glance is that there isn't any modperl
related directive other than the LoadModule. If nobody beats me to it I'll
have a closer look after my vacation.

That was just a standard compiled apache, what config file are we talking about? httpd.conf?
a) configure skript
b) httpd -V
c) grep -v '^[ ]*#' httpd.conf | grep -v '^$'| uniq
Thank you.

Alexander

I have seen that while working on the 2.4 port of modperl. In the httpd24
branch each of ap_pcw_walk_location_config, ap_pcw_walk_directory_config and
ap_pcw_walk_files_config are instrumented with
if( !sconf->sec_XXX ) return;
before doing anything (where XXX is one of url, dir or file).
Would be interesting to see the configuration that triggers it. Can you
provide an as much as possible stripped down configuration that exposes the
bug?
