Very Computer

I have installed Slackware 3.0 (Linux 1.2.13) and compiled NCSA HTTPd 1.5.
After launching this daemon it exits on signal SIGSEGV.

Does anybody know what the reason for this ?

Yup - check in one of the conf files for the user and group that you're
running the daemon as.  Make sure that you change it from the defaults;  I
run mine as user httpd, group daemon.

Anyway, not sure if this is a bug, or intentional, but I've had no problems
at all with 1.5 (it was a friend who had your problem), it seems to work
really well.  Good luck with it.

Later,
Steve

I had the same error running this daemon standalone.  I don't
know enough to answer your question.  But I had no problem running
the same executable under inetd.

I have had the same experience! I temporarily went back to my older version of Linux (Slackware
2.3). Anybody out there know the solution to the problem?

I had a similar problem...
You DO need to change the groups in /usr/local/etc/httpd/configs/httpd.conf
the user and group need to be changed...
BUT before this I had to recompile...
Then it was fine!
So try a recompile!
