Hi folks I currently have a problem with Apache 1.3.41 running on SunSolaris 10. We have to use the version 1.3.41 because of a dependency to a third party product which doesn't support Apache 2.0 and higher. What I want to do: ================== I want to start/stop the apache (httpd) by a program called 'sapcontrol' which is part of a SAP Installation. Codeline, how httpd is being called: ==================================== httpd -F -f /usr/sap/HAP/SYS/global/pa/conf/httpd.conf My problem: =========== Although 'sapcontrol' calls the httpd with the option "-F", which causes the mother process (sapcontrol) to not fork&detach, the httpd process doesn't start. Instead I find in the logfile following error message: setsid: Not owner wspa.sapHAP_DXPPW00: setsid failed setsid() failed probably because you aren't running under a process management tool like daemontools (wspa.sapHAP_DXPPW00 is a link pointing to httpd) What I already tried: ===================== - start httpd with the option "-X" (debug mode) but without "-F": httpd was able to be started and stopped by sapcontrol and was running properly; but in the debug mode it doesen't fork (but we need the fork feature) - httpd of Apache 2.2.9 with the command line option "-DNO_DETACH" behaves exactly how I want it to: does not detach and forks itself and could be started and stopped by sapcontrol - the option "-DNO_DETACH" has no affect on httpd of Apache 1.3.41. httpd started but forked of it's mother process (sapcontrol) what I don't want - the option "-DFOREGROUND" in Apache 1.3.41: the same affect as the option "-DNO_DETACH" - the option "-F" combined with the option "-DNO_DETACH" in Apache 1.3.41: the same error message as started with the option "-F" only: setsid: Not owner wspa.sapHAP_DXPPW00: setsid failed setsid() failed probably because you aren't running under a process management tool like daemontools - the option "-F" combined with the option "-DFOREGROUND" in Apache 1.3.41: the same error message as started with the option "-F" only: setsid: Not owner wspa.sapHAP_DXPPW00: setsid failed I was also searching the web and scanning this mailing list but I didn't found an entry with a similar problem neither a hint how to handle this problem. Does anybody of you may know how to solve my problem? Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards and thanks for your time!
