Description P Fudd 2004-03-11 07:14:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115

Description of problem:
I uncommented the line that says 'NameVirtualHost *:80' at the end of
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and now the children of httpd segfault on
every page.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.0.46-25.ent, httpd-2.0.46-30.ent

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uncomment the NameVirtualHost *:80 line in httpd.conf
2. Load any page

    

Actual Results:  3. Segfault
4. ???
5. Profit!

Expected Results:  I expected no change in behaviour.

Additional info:

This is a fresh install of Taroon.

I had actually created a virtual server, and it segfaulted too.  I
isolated the problem to this particular line by going back to pristine
config files and uncommenting one line at a time.  Good thing this
happened with the first line, or it might have gotten tedious.

I'm thinking it might be related to mod_ssl.

Doing 'cd /etc/httpd/conf.d; rpm -qf * | sort -u' gives:

httpd-2.0.46-30.ent
mod_auth_mysql-20030510-1.ent
mod_auth_pgsql-2.0.1-3.ent
mod_authz_ldap-0.22-3
mod_perl-1.99_09-10.ent
mod_python-3.0.3-2.ent
mod_ssl-2.0.46-30.ent
php-4.3.2-8.ent

Thanks for the report.

A correct configuration must define at least one VirtualHost for the
:80 port, i.e.

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName my.server.com
   ...
</VirtualHost>

the segmentation fault occurs if *no* VirtualHosts are configured for
the port.
