Four questions:

(1) Is this only when you restart?
(2) Do you use BackhandFromSO anywhere in your configuration.
(3) Did you compile mod_backhand as a shared module? I assume so from
the below error message.
(4) Are you running under Solaris? I am guessing from the /opt prefix
that you are Solaris person :)

There have been reports (verified) that things are just plain screwy
with mod_backhand under Solaris when mod_backhand is a shared object.
Try recomiling Apache with --enable-module=backhand, but NO
--enable-shared=backhand.

1. Actually it happens either way whether doing ./apachectl start or
./apachectl graceful.....
2. No I am not using BackhandFromS0 anywhere...
3. I compiled mod_backhand using apache's apxs
4. I am running solaris 2.7, apache 1.3.6

Recompiling apache is not really an option for me... Is there another way
around the screwiness?

Barbara,

I can only wager that the apxs compilation was not quite correct. If
you did a simple apxs command it would have compiled the mod_backhand.c
into a shared object without first linking in all of the other objects
that it needs.

There is a configure script that was contributed (it is in the main
source). If you do a ./configure --with-apxs=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs
and the run make it should compile and link correctly.

The only oddities that I have actually seen on Solaris are improper
execution of candidacy functions that are in shared objects themselves
(To much loading and unloading going on, I guess).

The apxs commands that are executed should be in quantity (more than
4). There are several source files that need to be compiled and then
linked into a shared object.

I get these errors now when I attempt to run make after I've run the
./configure script -with-apxs
# make

Any input as to what's going on?

Thanks!!!
