Bug 106358 – apache2 compiled with -D_FILES_OFFSET_BITS=64 option starts but won't work properly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description funkoolow 2005-09-18 05:06:42 UTC]

I had to recompile my apache2 (vers: net-www/apache-2.0.54-r15) with the cflag
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 active. the compiling went all smooth (or so it seemed),
but when the app runs, it starts but won't act correctly, reporting tons of
segmentation faults. here's a sample of the error log:

the server seems to respond to queries, since i can view some kind of pages
(e.g: pure and simple html pages but not php one), even if not fully properly
(e.g: images do not display at request, responding with a typical broken link
symbol)

if i recompile the server excluding the option above giving an CFLAGS="[all
without the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 option]" emerge apache it comes to life again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.recompile apache with the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 option active
2.run apache
3.browse a page

Actual Results:  
apache2 won't work properly even if it starts correctly (apparently)


let me know what other kind of infos you need

We don't support LFS (Large File Support) as many modules doesn't work correctly
with LFS. I have no idea when we'll finally be able to support LFS but don't
expect it to be anytime soon.

And please stop adding -Dsomething to your CFLAGS as gentoo generally can't
support that. We only support options enabled through USE flags in official ebuilds.
