Hi Rommel: Are you building statically or dynamically? I had a problem with segfaulting mod_perl, the solution for which eluded me for a long time. I had been doing a static apache/mod_perl build on CentOS 6.3 (similar to RedHat Enterprise 6.3).

I finally cured the problem by just doing a dynamic build instead. From what I can tell, static builds in my environment (x86_64, CentOS 6.3, perl 5.16.1) are pretty well broken. The dynamic build went just fine.

Just a thought...

Thanks but the trick doesn't seem to help.

First the instruction seems wrong. With it, the resulting perl executable does 
not even have useithreads defined.

Then I try

CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -Dinstallusrbinperl -Dusethreads 
-Duseithreads -Dprefix=/usr -des -A ccflags="-fPIC
-m64 -mtune=nocona "

Now I get a perl with useithread and -mtune=nocona (versus -mtune=generic)

Then I install the perl build, build mod_perl and install. Verify I'm using the 
new versions in apache. But still the script
produces segfault consistently.

Did people ever get threads to work in mod_perl/apache/redhat enterprise linux 6? May 
someone send the "perl -V" output. This
basic feature should work out of box on any environment.

Hi,

 

You could try some options for configuring Perl given here:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.pod.orig

 

specially:

% CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -des -A ccflags=-fPIC

 

Before doing a make.

 

Thanks,

Rommel.

Subject: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

 

hi,

This is totally frustrating. My mod_perl script always causes segmentation 
fault when it tries to create a thread. I searched
the Web and this forum, but there is still no definitive answers. My perl and 
mod_perl are of pretty recent versions and I
check for the inclusion of useithreads config. I wrote a simple script to prove 
it:

use CGI;
use threads;
use Config;
use mod_perl;

our $LOGGER;
BEGIN {
    $LOGGER = Apache2::ServerUtil->server->log;
    $LOGGER->error("testhread starting (CGI version ".CGI->version.")");
}

my $q       = CGI->new;
my $check = defined $Config{useithreads};
$LOGGER->error("useithread? $check");
my $v = mod_perl->VERSION;
$LOGGER->error("version $v");

    my $thr = threads->create(sub { }); # comment out these two lines will work
    $thr->join(); # already crashed at the line above

$q->header(-status => '200 OK');

It produces logs

Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] testhread starting (CGI version 3.51)
Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] useithread? 1

Aug 20 13:07:51 (4159) [notice] child pid 4216 exit signal Segmentation fault 
(11)

Any way I can solve this?

Thanks!
