Here's one I've not met before: I have an Apache (1.3.x) server doing SSL. The server has a read-only root partition and then read-write partitions for things like /home, /var, /tmp and so on. If Apache is started, all the https sites fail, return no data and say in the log "[notice] child pid 563 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)" or similar. If / is mounted read-write, Apache started, then / is remounted read-only, it works. I can't see any read-only directory being used in the httpd.conf - what's going on at startup that I'm missing?

What does an strace show anything? I have a spare server I can test this on this eve and see if I can reproduce it

mak also asked that (on #alug). When the server gets quieter (later today, I hope), I'll try it, if there's no other idea. I don't have a spare machine I can do this on quickly and I have a temporary fix, so I wondered if anyone had seen it before. I thought some people on this list had systems with read-only filesystems.

Have just done it on a test server and it fired up no problems
So its not a general apache issue by the looks of it
