Re: Server Questions.
Celerin is probably fine, I assume you don't have a lot of DNS traffic. Usually NS2 is on another network... If its a 64-bit Xeon, AMD would be the right choice. Last gen Xeons and before... I386. 7.0 has a lot of SMP improvements besides all the other fixes, features and improvements... Why are you shy about using it like it costs more than 6? :) -Patrick On Jun 23, 2008, at 4:38 PM, Grant Peel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Two questions for the Web hosting types out there: 1.

Also, a true dual-core Xeon is 64-bit. hyperthreaded really has one core and is 32. -Patrick On Jun 23, 2008, at 4:38 PM, Grant Peel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Two questions for the Web hosting types out there: 1.

Re: Variable arg function question
What about using a macro (...) in front of the function to csll it which passes __VARARGS__, NULL to ensure there is always a trailing NULL? I think this would at least work in GCC... Can' test on my phone though. -Patrick On May 4, 2008, at 4:42 AM, Peter Boosten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Unga wrote: Hi all I need to implement a variable argument function in C. The number of args are not known but the type is known, all are strings. Unfortunately va_arg() [stdarg(3)] does not return NULL or any other suitable value after processing the arg list, it just simply crashes once the arg list is exhausted. It seems there is no way to know the number of args inside the called function. Why is it in your opinion so hard to count the number of arguments *before* you call the function, in other words, what in your program prevents this count?

Re: Compiling in Debugging Flags
Standard diagnostic rules apply. What does a coredump say? GDB? Did you remove all modules and readd 1-by-1 to isolate the problem if the modules are your suspicion? What is the frequency of the crashes? -Patrick On May 4, 2008, at 5:01 PM, Chris Maness [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Toomas Aas wrote: L, 03 mai 2008 kirjutas Chris Maness [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry about all of the e-mails. I remembered that I was having issues with apache and the php5 module. I have deinstalled php5 and apache runs fine. However, even with the latest ports tree with apache13 and php5 module rebuilt, apache crashes. This might not be caused by mod_php5 as such, but by some PHP extension(s). I have seen cases where even the order in which extensions are loaded in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini is significant. Have them in one order and you get coredumps. Move one extension from top to bottom - no more coredumps. This is one of the great mysteries of the nature. Happy experimenting :) I tried that one too a while back. I rotated all of them from the bottom to the top, and it did not cure the problem.

Correct - a dl380 3.06 is a P4 Xeon, ie the old xeon... 32-bit.
