Now they are demanding the change.. Not acked. Anyone want to take this up with them? -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "All right everyone! Step away from the glowing hamburger!"
Hello, It's very import that we get the changes asked for below approved as soon as possible. We are begging our beta cycle next week and need to provide this functionality to users as part of the product. Could some please call me or email ASAP.

We use a series of HTML pages for user authentication. Since moving to Solaris 2.8 we have had some problems. Our Engineers have found the problem below. We would like you to consider the changes below to allow us to continue using Apache with our products. We would like to request an answer ASAP.

It used to work fine for builds on Solaris 2.6 . Once we moved onto Solaris 2.8, the Apache goes down at runtime saying "Could not mmap memory". On looking into the Apache code, I found that this is reported from apache_1.3.9/src/main/http_main.c file. In the setup_shared_mem function (when USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD is defined), we find that it has been compiling code under "#if defined(MAP_ANON) " BSD style section rather than the regular 'Sun style' section which previously used to get compiled. This is because MAP_ANON is defined in Solaris 2.8 (in sys/mman.h) and not defined in Solaris 2.6 . So, the modification we intend to make is to change the line(1786) in apache_1.3.9/src/main/http_main.c ...... #if defined(MAP_ANON) /* old code */ into........ #if defined(MAP_ANON) && !defined(SOLARIS2) /* new code */ This would compile & execute the code we want to. Since this is going to be derived from the original apache code, we would need written permission from Apache to do so. Their mail-id is [EMAIL PROTECTED] We can test and use the latest Apache versions from the next releases, but for this release we need to change this. Ravi Part of the apache_1.3.9/src/main/http_main.c file code we intend to change: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #elif defined(USE_MMAP_SCOREBOARD) static void setup_shared_mem(pool *p) { caddr_t m; #if defined(MAP_ANON) /* BSD style */ #ifdef CONVEXOS11 { unsigned len = SCOREBOARD_SIZE; m = mmap((caddr_t) 0xC0000000, &len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON | MAP_SHARED, NOFD, 0); } #elif defined(MAP_TMPFILE) { char mfile[] = "/tmp/apache_shmem_XXXX"; int fd = mkstemp(mfile); if (fd == -1) { perror("open"); fprintf(stderr, "%s: Could not open %s\n", ap_server_argv0, mfile); exit(APEXIT_INIT); } m = mmap((caddr_t) 0, SCOREBOARD_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (m == (caddr_t) - 1) { perror("mmap"); fprintf(stderr, "%s: Could not mmap %s\n", ap_server_argv0, mfile); exit(APEXIT_INIT); } close(fd); unlink(mfile); } #else m = mmap((caddr_t) 0, SCOREBOARD_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); #endif if (m == (caddr_t) - 1) { perror("mmap"); fprintf(stderr, "%s: Could not mmap memory\n", ap_server_argv0); exit(APEXIT_INIT); } #else /* Sun style */ int fd; fd = open("/dev/zero", O_RDWR); if (fd == -1) { perror("open"); fprintf(stderr, "%s: Could not open /dev/zero\n", ap_server_argv0); exit(APEXIT_INIT); } m = mmap((caddr_t) 0, SCOREBOARD_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (m == (caddr_t) - 1) { perror("mmap"); fprintf(stderr, "%s: Could not mmap /dev/zero\n", ap_server_argv0); exit(APEXIT_INIT); } close(fd); #endif ap_scoreboard_image = (scoreboard *) m; ap_scoreboard_image->global.running_generation = 0; } ---------------code ends---------------------------------------------------
