Apache2.2.13 - CGI

[Joe Suttle]

Decided to change the Subject, since I have reverted again. CGI stopped working, although at first the new dll gave the promise of working, but alas, it does not. So, back to what did work - Apache 2.2.10 and PHP 5.2.8 w/mySQL 5.1.36

CGI failures generate DOSCALL1 errors and cause Apache to shutdown. My failures have nothing to do with PHP, but reverted that anyway. Now if I can just get some genuine error messages in my Apache error_log

There are some obvious hacker errors, which indicate that I need to do some cleanup in my conf files, since access of http://cjsent.com/ (a vhost) should not get to the root directory. But what does not show in my logs are my access to 'http://www.warpedbox.com/ which has a counter at the bottom of the page which is an OS/2 executable and the cgi fails. Access of _some_ pages via cgi fail, not all. So...back to my drawing board, and better logging and reporting to mantis and this list.

Are you sure that the DOSCALL1 error isn't reported as a result of
Apache shutting down? Here's an example from my server's POPUPLOG.OS2:

Yikes...

Well, if the exe isn't working under one version but working under
another, that's pretty clear. Did you say it worked for some time and
then stopped, or was this particular exe not working at all under 2.2.13?

This is a possibility, and I will check it tonight when I switch back to 2.2.13, and confirm with log files.

Well, if the exe isn't working under one version but working under another, that's pretty clear. Did you say it worked for some time and then stopped, or was this particular exe not working at all under 2.2.13?

The exe is 'count.exe' from wcount25. It definitely works under 2.2.10, and seemed to work without causing failures after Paul rewrote the httpd.dll and I installed that. However, perl and exe scripts started to cause failures of 2.2.13 (after 8-12 hours). I could even access my pages where 'count' is the counter, and any access would cause a failure of Apache. I need to be more empirical, so want to clean out the log files, startup 2.2.13 and see what shows up in the logs so hopefully we can find this.

When I provide the logs, will also provide what type of cgi (.cmd, .cgi, .pl, .exe) fails and make myself available to provide the code to who ever wants to run the same tests.

I only have a couple of php scripts in my cgi-bin, so I haven't seen
your issue (except that I haven't been able to reconfigure Apache to use
PHP as CGI vs module - it just won't run at all for me).

Thanks for the additional info, Joe!

It is. If have .sym files, but no .map files, you can use sym.exe from my
exceptq package to decode the sym files

16 Bit Symbol <DOS32UNSETEXCEPTIONHANDLER> Address 2:1b44
16 Bit Symbol <postDOS32UNSETEXCEPTIONHANDLER> Address 2:1b8a

We seen this trap before.

Easy to do. :-)
