Hi,
I'm trying find a bug that makes AxKit not work on a particular server. After using Apache::DB and the command-line debugger, I came to the (perhaps dubious) conclusion that the call to AxKit::get_config in the new sub of Apache::AxKit::ConfigReader isn't returning what it's supposed to. Unless I'm missing something major... it seems that the sub we're talking about is _get_config, defined in AxKit.xs. So... I re-compiled Apache with debugging symbols, then re-compiled AxKit adding the -g switch to the OPTIMIZE line (as mentioned in the SUPPORT file), and ran Apache with gdb. At the end of this message are the results of a somewhat haphasard gdb session... that shows as far as I've gotten with this. Anyway... I'm unfamiliar with xs debugging, Apache and AxKit code, etc... that is to say, I really don't know what I'm doing... so I'd really appreciate some pointers as to how to continue looking for the problem. Many thanks in advance, Andrew P.S. I suspected that maybe the issue was the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 trouble mentionned in a previous message (http://axkit.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mmn:4669); but when I ran a grep -r "_FILE_OFFSET" * in both the Apache and AxKit source directories, all references to that parameter seemed to set it to 64. ------------- d2ia1@nya:~/opt/apache/bin$ gdb httpd GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
