Creating a mod with 2.0 question...
I am building a mod for apache 2.0 and have a question. I have defined a
function for the child_init hook. While in the function, I do some
initialization. If my mod initialization fails, I want to prevent apache
from starting up. Is there a function or state I can set for this to
happen? I am already placing comments in the error_log. Not sure if it
matters but my mod will be dynamically loaded.
Thanks!
Chris

You can't really do that, because the parent process won't know what is going
on. You could exit the child process, and that would effectively stop the server,
but you would thrash starting and stoping processes, which is not good.
The other option is to put a note in the scoreboard, and have the parent
process use that note to determine that it should shut down, but the parent
doesn't have that logic today.
