So I was in the process of creating a simple test module when I discovered
the problem had gone away (both in the test module and in the module I am
developing.) I did some more digging and discovered that it was a
configuration that is actually causing the problem. In my virtual host
definition, I have this:
# SetHandler test
SetHandler mymod
MyModConfig /var/www/file
If I comment out that last line, I get a relatively simple configuration
sequence when Apache first boots (yes, this is all run with -X). cfg is the
address of the module_config variable. server/path is the address of either
the server_rec or the path variable pass into the callback.
sudo APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data /usr/sbin/apache2 -X
server_config {pid: 13878 cfg:0x2b7c26e32ac0 server:
0x2b7c26db4568}
dir_config {pid: 13878 cfg:0x2b7c26e32ad8 path: (null)}
server_config {pid: 13878 cfg:0x2b7c26e399d0 server:
0x2b7c26db1968}
dir_config {pid: 13878 cfg:0x2b7c26e399e8 path: (null)}
child_init {pid: 13878 cfg:0x2b7c26e399d0 server:
0x2b7c26db1968}
create new <-- this is my code creating the resources that it needs for the
process
handler {pid: 13878 cfg:0x2b7c26e399d0 server:
0x2b7c2fa881b8} <-- notice the cfg/server addresses are the same as the line
above
When I run with the line uncommented, I get the following:
server_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2cf82ebac0 server:
0x2b2cf826d568}
dir_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2cf82ebad8 path: (null)}
dir_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f415c8 path: (null)}
server_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f415e0 server:
0x2b2d00f3f1a8}
mymodconfig {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f415c8 cmd_parms:
0x7fffb2ad90c0} <-- call to process the config
server_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2cf82f29d0 server:
0x2b2cf826a968}
dir_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2cf82f29e8 path: (null)}
dir_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f435d8 path: (null)}
server_config {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f435f0 server:
0x2b2d00f411b8}
mymodconnfig {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f435d8 cmd_parms:
0x7fffb2ad90c0} <-- call to process the config again
child_init {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2cf82f29d0 server:
0x2b2cf826a968}
create new <-- creating the resources where it should
handler {pid: 13979 cfg:0x2b2d00f7aff0 server:
0x2b2d00f411b8} <-- notice the cfg/server addresses are different than the
line above
create new <-- thinks the resources have not been created, so doing it again
I tried defining a merge callback for both the server level and the
directory level, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
