From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010809

Description of problem:
If one uncomments the line "NameVirtualHost *" in the original httpd.conf,
Apache will start without complaining, but the httpd child processes will
segfault upon accepting a connection from a client

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.perl -pi -e 's/#NameVirtualHost/NameVirtualHost/' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
2.service httpd start
3.telnet localhost 80
	

Actual Results:  in /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[Mon Sep 10 02:40:51 2001] [notice] child pid 2485 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)


Expected Results:  Either a refusal by apache to start up or a an error
HTML page returned to the client.


Additional info:

httpd -t does give a warning, but not an error:

[Mon Sep 10 02:50:48 2001] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
Syntax OK

Thanks for the report.  This bug is no longer present in the Apache
httpd 2.0 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Core.
