#22 Crash when Starting under W2k

[discoleo]

APACHE will crash after booting a Win2k machine.
Error log:

[Sat Nov 29 21:32:14 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) PHP/5.2.6 mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 configured -- resuming normal operations

However, I am able to start APACHE after logging to Windows. I searched the web, and I am a little bit unsure about the cause. The error could stem from loading the Perl module, and I will test it during the next start-up. [An previous version of Webserv worked fine on this same machine.]

However, as there is already a new APACHE version (2.2.10), I believe that upgrading the package is warranted.

Many thanks for the good work.

Indeed, disabling Perl solved the problem. Maybe upgrading to the latest version (now at version 5.10) will also solve the problem.
