Hi,
I'd like to make a suggestion regarding the docs on PerlFreshRestart.
First of all, *THANKS* for all those who are making these available. I'd
still be searching the net for an answer to my segfaults if it weren't
for these resources.
Now, to perhaps save the next poor programmer/sys-admin from the
troubles I've had, I'd suggest that the Troubleshooting FAQ regarding
the PerlFreshRestart section
<http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.html#Evil_things_might_happen_when_using_PerlFreshRestart>
include something along the following lines (mainly to improve the
chances of search engines indexing for the terms I was using to do my
search; I had no clue the cause was the PerlFreshRestart, or even
mod_perl for that matter):
If you are having problems doing a graceful restart of the Apache
server (such as the server process dying), turning off the
PerlFreshRestart option may fix your problem. Some users have seen no
problems starting the server, no errors written to the logs, but no
server running after a restart.
Granted, I'm not 100% sure this is the solution but my initial tests
seem to show that it has fixed my graceful restart problem. I am going
to set the server to restart hourly for the next couple of days. If I
find that changing the PerlFreshRestart option does not fix my problem,
I'll let you know.
Finally, I want to point out that the definition of PerlFreshRestart
<http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#PerlFreshRestart>
includes an erroneous setting (at least with Apache 1.3.27). The
following directive:
PerlFreshRestart No
produces an error when I run it with apachectl configtest. It says the
settings should be On or Off.
Thanks,
William
