Change it back from shellcmd to program and voila, the code works. We hacked at various handle codes for stdout/stderr, but nothing except a legitimate file stream will make cmd.exe happy. So Apache just dies with a message that it fails to create the log.Was this problem ever resolved in 2.2.9?
Yes, the behavior I describe above, with apr 1.2, should have been resolved with 2.2.9 and apr 1.3.0.
I'm trying to set up 2.2.9 as a service on an XP SP2 box with either rotatelog or cronolog for main and vhost error/access logs, but I see several cmd.exe processes when starting it up. I have a W2K box with 2.0.63 that doesn't have this shell behavior (also a service using cronolog).
Oh - it still runs cmd.exe. The difference is - there are the correct pipes between apache and that cmd/invoked program/script.
What I found... This says a similar problem was resolved in 2.2.6:
Please be specific about *your* problem...
I also skimmed through the SVN logs for log.c and didn't see anything about fixing this.
No, these are all subdependencies, you wouldn't note them from log.c --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
