apache2 reports bad system call

apache2 reports bad system call

[Robert Khachikyan]

Hi,

I successfully have installed and have been using cygwin on my windows XP.
Just recently I decided to add a web server. After installing the apache2,
it complains of 'Bad system call':

Robert@home_pc /etc/apache2
$ /usr/sbin/httpd2.exe
Bad system call

Robert@home_pc /etc/apache2
$ /usr/sbin/httpd2.exe -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.2
Server built:   Jun  6 2006 13:28:20


However, when starting the apache1.3.33, I have no problem. But due to 
security,
I'd like for the apache to be up-to-date.....You guys have any 
suggestions?....thanx....

Read the readme?  Sounds to me like apache2 requires IPC via Cygserver.
I would think the readme would talk about this (don't have apache2 installed
myself so I don't know for sure but then again Max is a pretty thorough guy).
If you're looking for more info on Cygserver, see:

Initially when I installed sshd, it was said to have the CYGWIN 
environment variable to 'ntsec'.

After reading your forwarded link, I switched it to 'server' and it runs 
ok now...thanx...

Package READMEs on-line? (Was Re: apache2 reports bad system call)

I think it's time to re-iterate my proposal of having the package
Cygwin-specific READMEs (those in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin) extracted to some
place on the web (a separate directory on the mirrors, perhaps?).  Does
this sound feasible?  Would it make sense to do this?

CGF, I know upset is no longer publically available, but if you send me
the source, I could submit a patch that does this.  Once these are
on-line, it might also make sense to change the package search script to
make README files into links to their on-line locations on the sourceware
site.

And, just to put this in the archives again, having a database of package
release announcements somewhere on-line (keyed by version, so setup could
link to them) would also be helpful.

"ntsec" is the default and has been for some time.  Adding it to the CYGWIN
environment variable pretty much is only useful for "documentation" purposes
but adding it causes no harm either.  However, in case there's any confusion,
it is possible and permissible to add more than 1 option to the CYGWIN
environment variable.
