Hi everyone, I am a junior sysadmin (well, intern actually) at a company using Apache. Right now I am tasked with migrating one of our servers to a newer machine, and this involved doing more work with Apache than I have done previously. I encountered a problem where turning on mod_perl would cause Apache to run _really_ slowly (as in taking a minute to return a small plain HTML page). In this case, I was sort of at a loss on how to figure out what was causing the problem. The access and error logs in /var/log/apache2 weren't showing anything helpful. The man page indicated that I might be able to get some debugging output using the -X option and starting apache at the command line, but I didn't get any output (probably apache didn't consider anything that was going on seriously amiss). Since this is something that will come up in the future again I'm sure, I'm wondering: what is the best way to troubleshoot Apache problems? Is there a way to turn on really verbose logging, or to otherwise figure out what the heck is going on when Apache spends 2-3 minutes just starting itself? This is especially pertinent when Apache isn't actually encountering errors, it is just running an order of magnitude more slowly than it ought to be. I realize there's strace, but using it on something as big and complex as Apache is somewhat daunting. Thanks a lot!
