Hi folks, I haven't looked into this one very closely, so I'll just tell you my conclusion, followed by a bit of supporting evidence. If you plan to upgrade ports/www/apache13 from anything pre- 28 Sept, be sure to kill httpd and pkg_delete the existing apache13 package first. I didn't and here's what happened: Everything continued as normal UNTIL... At 02:00, syslogd tried to rotate my apache logs. This includes sending a SIGHUP to the controlling httpd. Apache died and left the following turd in /var/log/httpd-error.log: [Fri Oct 2 02:00:01 1998] [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart Syntax error on line 26 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache/mod_mime_magic.so into server: Undefined symbol "_ap_log_rerror" in httpd:/usr/local/libexec/apache/mod_mime_magic.so Trying to start apache on the command-line produced less helpful output about being unable to load a module called ``(null)''. :-) After a pkg_delete, build and install from ports, apache started up and carried on working as before. I hope this saves someone some blood / sweat / window panes. Cioa, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
