Re: Seg Fault Issues- mod_perl and XML::Parser

[Tom Harper]

Hi--

In case anyone encounters the same segv issues,
recompiled apache with mod_perl 1.24--

explicitly set Rule EXPAT=no rather than 
Rule EXPAT=default in the apache_base/src/Configure.  

No more segv.

Then i recompiled again with mod_perl 1.23.  

Again, no more segv.

Go figure.

Anyhow, based on this experience we are very enthusiastic
about XML::Parser package.  We are mis-using XML::Parser 
as part of a X(HT)ML based templating engine, and since the
fix it has handled significant load without complaint
(50 concurrent connections).

Aren't we all :-)

Try http://axkit.org/faq.xml

Also, there is a patch for this (finally!) in http://axkit.org/download/ -
the mod_dav-shared-expat patch. I've sent this to Greg Stein (but not
heard any response yet).

Matt--

I wish it were this easy to fix.

I don't think i have a conflict with mod_dav (i never 
installed mod_dav)- never installed another conflicting
expat- and I already compiled with Expat=no.

Maybe i missed something, but I think there is some other
problem here.

Hi there,

 mod perl 1.23
 linux 6.2
 apache 1.39
 XML::Parser 2.29

and evidently Perl 5.6.0!

No idea what might be the trouble, but I'd say get the latest of
everything *except* Perl.  I'd use 5.005_03 and compile everything
with debugging symbols.  Apach 1.3.9 is a bit old now, isn't it, but
I'm still using it somewhere (I forget exactly where, so it must be
fairly stable:).  Though I've never used XML::Parser so all this is
completely out of my hat.

Is that Red Hat Linux 6.2?  I had some problems in the summer with
that choking on certain hardware ('Gateway' 750MHz PentiumII), when
6.1 was fine.  So I used 6.1.
