Problem:

  • Product Name: Borland Enterprise Server
  • Product Version: 5.2.1
  • Product Component: Apache 2.0 Web Server
  • Platform/OS Version: Solaris

Problem with the BES access via Apache on Solaris. Sometimes a segmentation fault (11) error is generated in the error.log and a core dumps produced.

Resolution:

Sometimes the apache could core dumps because of wrong timezone settings. The following explained about the timezone-Apache bug and how to avoid this:

The default code for Europe is MET, replacing this with GMT-1 timezone code allowed apache to function in the correct timezone and avoid the bug.

To run apache with this timezone code :

  1. Start the BES console.
  2. Select Enterprise Servers->services->Apache 2.0
  3. Right click and bring up the configuration dialog. In the window marked "Environment Variables" add the following string for the western europe (for the other timezones, please select the appropriate POSIX GMT offset):

TZ=GMT-1

 

This would set the apache process to run using that timezone environment variable instead of the default.
