>Number: 5028 >Category: os-windows >Synopsis: Use of -c or -C options prevents apache from running >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Fri Sep 17 05:50:00 PDT 1999 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3.9 >Environment: Windows 95 OSR2 >Description: When setting a command line paramter containing a space, such as
apache -d /work/apache -c "ProxyRequests On" The function create_process when starting a child process loses the quotes so that ProxyRequests and On become separate paramaters, leading to a failure to start the child. The parent loops indefinitely restarting the child. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Changing line 5819 of http_main.c (in create_process) to quote all parameters fixes the problem for me on windows 95. I will post a patch to new-httpd later. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
