Problem: [warn] exec() may not be safe

Hi,

I upgraded from 1.3.27 to 1.3.29 on a local Win32 machine, I kept the
http.conf from the previous setting.
Apache was properly running since a plenty period of time.

Now after starting Apache, it shows a log entry in the DOS box:
<<
[Thu Nov 06 10:42:59 2003] [warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec()
may not be safe
Apache/1.3.29 (Win32) mod_perl/1.27_01-dev running...
<<

The error log is filled up with the warning plus an add. warnings for
each page request:
[Thu Nov 06 10:31:07 2003] [warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec()
may not be safe
[Thu Nov 06 10:31:07 2003] [warn] exec() may not be safe
[Thu Nov 06 10:31:07 2003] [warn] exec() may not be safe
[Thu Nov 06 10:31:08 2003] [warn] exec() may not be safe


What's the reason for, can't find any hint in the docs.

Thanx for reply,
Hans-Peter

Hi Hans-Peter,

I wonder if you have found a solution to this??? It's not even obvious
where to submit such a question on the apache site.

Here's my spec:
win98 on 368MHZ AMD
apache 1.3.29
PHP 4.3.4

When I start up I get the same or similar in console:

... [warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec() may not be safe ...
Apache/1.3.29 (Win32) PHP/4.3.4 Running...

I welcome you thoughts!

Thanks,

Justin Philpott

Hi Justin,

I sent the same question directly to a contact at Apache - the person
who is stated to be the sender on every Apache newsletter...

Immediately I got an answer:

>>
Yes, this is a bug in 1.3.28/1.3.29 which does a preventative close on
socket fd's.
Under Win32 this is unneeded and is not done, but Apache thinks this
is an error.

Bumping up LogLevel past warn will prevent the errors from filling
error_log. This will be fixed in 1.3.30 :)

THANKS!

Actually I went back to 1.3.27 on my development WIN98 machine just to
avoid that my log will be overflood with there 'errors'. Setting
LogLevel would be also a solution, but not done just to not forget it
to turn back on 1.3.30 :))

So let's wait for 1.3.30 ...

Best whishes,
Hans-Peter
