Re: [Tclhttpd-users] tclhttpd on FC5

[Wart <wa...@ko...>]

Hi Raul,

I finally found the culprit.  The '-daemon 1' flag causes tclhttpd to
[fork] into the background, detaching from the controlling terminal.
Tcl in FC-4 was built with threading disabled.  Tcl in FC-5 has
threading enabled.  Unfortunately, [fork] does not play nicely with a
threaded Tcl.

I'll add appropriate warnings in httpd.tcl to guard against this and
come up with a modified init.d startup script that doesn't require -daemon.
