In order to be able to detect if a lua file fails to compile and get an informative error message like : Error! /web/localhost/htdocs/info.lua:174: '=' expected near '+' instead of : Error! attempt to call a nil value
I suggest you move the load/pcall function from lua_vmprep:apl_get_lua_state() to mod_lua:lua_handler() and mod_lua:lua_request_rec_hook_harness() like in the attached patch. I haven't yet tested how my patch works with hooks but it seems to be ok for lua_handler. I am not sure about the lua_gc() in case pcall fails, it just seem logical and that's how it's done in Lua's lua.c interpreter. PS: I wish mod_lua was under a distributed SCM like Git or Mercurial, it would make things easier for me. It takes me forever to make a patch and I am not even sure it can be used. -- Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
