I'm running my Catalyst application on apache2 using modperl with mysql database accessed by DBIx::SearchBuilder. I'm getting the message in the apache2 error logs:
child pid 1140 exit signal Segmentation fault (11), possible core dump in /tmp Following are the package versions: apache2 2.2.9-10 apache2-dbg 2.2.9-11 apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.9-11 apache2-utils 2.2.3-4+etch6 apache2.2-common 2.2.9-11 libapache2-mod-auth-pam 1.1.1-6.1 libapache2-mod-auth-sys-group 1.1.1-6.1 libapache2-mod-fastcgi 2.4.6-1 libapache2-mod-perl2 2.0.4-4 libapache2-mod-php5 5.2.0-8+etch10 libapache2-reload-perl 0.10-2 Catalyst and Perl module versions are: Catalyst 5.7014 DBIx::SearchBuilder 1.54 mysql-server-5.0 5.0.32-7etch5 I did a backtrace, which I posted to the modperl mailing list. One reply said that the cause may be initializing a DB handle at startup and using it in the child process. What needs to be done differently to ensure this does not happen? I am initializing the database connection in a Controller. Is there any problem in this, though it may not be the best design. Will putting the database initialization code in the Model help? I have included the backtrace for your information. Have I missed anything? #0 0xb6038590 in mysql_ping () from /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 #1 0xb61e9d93 in XS_DBD__mysql__db_ping () from /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so #2 0xb6e03088 in XS_DBI_dispatch () from /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBI/DBI.so #3 0xb7686975 in Perl_pp_entersub () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.10 #4 0xb7684d91 in Perl_runops_standard () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.10 #5 0xb767ed08 in Perl_call_sv () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.10 #6 0xb774ebfc in modperl_callback () from /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so #7 0xb774f2d3 in modperl_callback_run_handlers () from /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so #8 0xb774f9ca in modperl_callback_per_dir () from /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so #9 0xb77486ef in modperl_response_init () from /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so #10 0xb77488a3 in modperl_response_handler_cgi () from /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so #11 0x0807a179 in ap_run_handler (r=0xa42b298) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/config.c:159 #12 0x0807d591 in ap_invoke_handler (r=0xa42b298) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/config.c:373 #13 0x0808aff6 in ap_process_request (r=0xa42b298) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/modules/http/http_request.c:258 #14 0x08088128 in ap_process_http_connection (c=0x927c208) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/modules/http/http_core.c:190 #15 0x080815a9 in ap_run_process_connection (c=0x927c208) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/connection.c:43 #16 0x0808fc0c in child_main (child_num_arg=<value optimized out>) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/mpm/prefork/prefork.c:672 #17 0x0808ff63 in make_child (s=0x80ab908, slot=0) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/mpm/prefork/prefork.c:769 #18 0x08090d68 in ap_mpm_run (_pconf=0x80a70c8, plog=0x80d9190, s=0x80ab908) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/mpm/prefork/prefork.c:904 #19 0x08066f10 in main (argc=Cannot access memory at address 0x0 ) at /tmp/buildd/apache2-2.2.9/server/main.c:732 -- Thanks and Regards, Terence Monteiro.
