[users@httpd] signal Segmentation fault (11)

[dan <da...@edentify.com.au>]

Hi,

I am using Apache Http Server (v 1.3.12) as a part of Oracle IAS and I am
trying to work out how and why I am getting the following error in the
error_log file:

[notice] child pid XXXXX exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

In terms of the Apache server settings I am using all the defaults (things
like Startup Server Processes etc.).  Here is what I am doing to actually
get the error:

1. Opening a whole heap of browser windows and hitting the Http Server as
much as I can - this spawns more apache processes than the original startup
5.
2. Close all the browser windows.
3. At some point the apache server must try and close the redundant
processes and this is when I get the error.

What I am really trying to work out is why this happens and also if this is
something I should be concerned about because apart from the worrying notice
in the error log everything seems to be working correctly (i.e. I don't get
any errors from the client side).

Has anyone ever come across this problem/message in their log files?

Hope someone can help me.

Dan

That's a very old version of apache.

That means "some part of apache or one of its modules did something bad".
In most cases, it is in fact a third-party module causing the problem, and
not the core apache server.  (Although, of course, there are bugs in
apache itself.)

Some debugging hints are available here:
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html
but you're not going to get a whole lot of help trying to debug an ancient
version of apache.
