We have several webservers currently running on apache httpd v2.2.3. They are started and stopped by a wrapper script which at some point simply calls "apachectl stop" or "apachectl start" to control the webserver. This is all working fine, we have had no issues with it. I am currently trying to upgrade to v2.2.6 but have run into a problem. In the wrapper script, apachectl is called in back quotes. For example we would call it as follows in order to check the output for errors: STARTUP=`<path>/apachectl start 2>&1` When we use this construct to start httpd v2.2.3 it works fine. When we use it to start httpd v2.2.6 the command simply hangs there without exiting. I have tried doing this directly on the command line (as opposed to within a script) and get exactly the same. However, the webserver process *has* started. I can access the webserver and if I run "apachectl stop" from another terminal, a few seconds later the hung command returns to the command prompt (or the script continues if called within the wrapper script). I am running this on a Sun sparc V480 with solaris 9 installed (kernel patch 117171-05). Apache httpd is compiled with Sun Studio 8 (I have tried Studio 11 as well and get the same results). Configure line was: ./configure --prefix=<path to install> --enable-so --enable-mods-shared=all \ --enable-module=so --with-mpm=worker --enable-nonportable-atomics=yes \ --enable-proxy=shared --enable-proxy-http=shared --enable-ssl=shared \ --enable-cache=shared --enable-file-cache=shared \ --enable-disk-cache=shared --enable-mem-cache=shared I realise that this may not actually be a problem with apache itself, in fact it seems unlikely, but the only lead I have to go on at the moment is that, on my system, it doesn't happen with v2.2.3 and does with v2.2.6 and after comming up with a total blank on the search engines I am posting here in the hope someone has encountered something similar.
