Very Computer

Anyone seen this and overcome it?  If not, I'm going to Apache!

And on and on and on...  I've tried using their precompiled binaries
and tried compiling my own, but haven't had any luck so far.  Has
anyone else out there had this problem and figured out how to fix it?

Thanks in advance...

Just try some different settings for owner and if necessary group and
I am sure your problem will go away.

Good luck

: I'm having the exact same problem on my Slackware 3.0 Linux box.  NCSA
: 1.4 worked with no problems at all, but 1.5 has been giving me
: SIGSEGV's up the wazoo.  Here's just a sample of the error_log:

Just try to run an a.out version. That works like a charm.
On a P100 with 32 Mb ram running 32 to 64 childs, the NCSA httpd
is the best you can get for free.

Don't blame NCSA!! Blame the libc and ELF people for letting Linux
die..

What does this have to do with the libc and ELF people??  Did they sneak
something into the libc and ELF code to specifically look for NCSA 1.5a?  
Come on, that's just a bit too much of the "Grassy Knoll" stuff for me...

A couple of questions...

1) How are these people letting Linux "die"?  It sure seems to be alive
and well to me!

2) How is this a Linux only problem, in light of a post I saw yesterday
describing the exact same problem on Solaris?  Did the big bad libc guys
hack Sun's libc too?

As the first response said you need to set up a www user/group for it
to work - its also more secure this way.
