httpd segmentation fault with RivetServerConf in httpd.conf...

[Jeff Anctil <jf...@yahoo.ca>]

Hi,
 
   Httpd daemons got segmentation fault  when I added this line in the
configuration`
 
            RivetServerConf ChildInitScript "source  file.tcl"
 
In the tcl file,   I want to connect to a mysql database with mysqltcl
(mysqltcl and mysqlconnect work in a script.). When I start apache, the
child processes got a segmentation fault. If I remove the mysqlconnect
statement in the script and replace it by anything else, I don't have
problems.
 
I'm using apache 1.3.27 with tcl 8.5, mysqltcl 2.40  and the last
release of tcl-rivet
 
Anyone has an idea of what is the problem ???
 
 
Jeff
 
 
P.S. Here is an output of apache error log file:

Hi, this was a good excuse to add something to the docs about how to
debug Apache.

http://tcl.apache.org/rivet/html/internals.en.html#id5420340

If you want, the results of what those techniques can tell you would
be useful to finding the problem...

Can you come up with a really simple example for me, so I can try it
here?  Is this the *latest* mysqltcl, because I think I recall there
being a problem with an older version.

Compiled with or without threads?

Not without more information, sorry:-( I think we can figure it out
though.
