Hi, after i recompiled the newest versions of perl, apache and mod_perl on my home computer with the appropriate debug switches, i cannot reproduce the Segmentation Faults any more, too. At my machine at work i found out that the problem had to do with the DBI module, which i additionally loaded. After installing the newest version of DBI and/or not loading this module, no Segmentation faults happened any more.
Concerning the PerlOptions: >From the results below i conclude: +Parent means everything is new in the virtual host. You have to add the libs and paths you need all there. +Clone means everything is "cloned" from the main configuration. To add a "private" lib path you have to call a second startup script with the lib path you need included. The PerlSwitches -Mlib=.. in the virtual host section are ignored. +inherit makes no difference at all (probably i did/do not understand that option) So after everything is "clear" now (i have to sleep one night over it) i will continue moving from 1.3 to 2.0. Thanks for your help Helmut 1) httpd.conf: PerlRequire /tmp/install/apache2/conf/startup.pl PerlSwitches -Mlib=/test1 NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> ..

I can't reproduce it. Please send in the backtrace from the core file and the rest of the details. See: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Reporting_Problems > When I try: > > # PerlOptions +Parent > PerlOptions +Clone > > > PerlModule Apache2 > PerlModule Apache::compat > PerlSwitches -Mlib=/et/www/envirotex/lib If you use the +Clone, it already inherits everything from the parent, including @INC. So you don't need the last 3 lines. It works just fine for me with 'PerlOptions +Clone'. Perhaps you can send in your httpd.conf after you have reduced it to the very minimum (including the minimal startup.pl that still reproduces the problem) > the result is: > > "[Thu Jan 23 09:12:19 2003] [error] Can't locate > Emma/AuthCookieHandler.pm in @INC (@INC contains: > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/Apache2 > /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 5) line 3. > > [Thu Jan 23 09:12:19 2003] [error] Can't load Perl module > Emma::AuthCookieHandler for server www.et:0, exiting..." > > The Module "Emma::AuthCookieHandler" is in the path > "/et/www/envirotex/lib".
