Posted: Sat 06 Jan '07 17:26 Post subject: Apache 2.2.4 Win32 RC available (build with VC2005 SP1) |
|
|
Apache 2.2.4 Win32 RC is now available for download here at the Apache Lounge. It is build without any modification to the ASF source and it is expected soon to be released by ASF.
Changes: see www.apachelounge.com/changelog.html
Note: Build with the latest Visual Studio® 2005 Service Pack 1.
Be sure to install the new Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package, see the readme in the .zip.
VC2005 SP1 has quite some fixes/improvements, but MS is not giving too much info what is fixed/changed in C++, only I could find was: http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2006/12/18/visual-studio-2005-sp1-released.aspx
Download: Removed

I'm having some trouble with remote IP address always 0.0.0.0.
My access.log looks like: Quote: | 0.0.0.0 - - [07/Jan/2007:11:22:59 -0500] "GET /server-status HTTP/1.1" 403 215
0.0.0.0 - - [07/Jan/2007:11:23:36 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 20417 |
I'm running your build on w2k-sp4.
I also tried building with VC2005 from the Apache Pre-Release Test Versions source (httpd-2.2.4-win32-src.zip) and I have the same problem.
Anyone else see this?

p.s. Unzipping your httpd-2.2.4-win32-x86-ssl.zip doesn't create a \logs directory, so it needs to be created by hand. Minor detail...

Strange, my access.log looks fine:
62.194.40.33 - - [08/Jan/2007:18:08:49 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 44
62.194.40.33 - - [08/Jan/2007:18:08:49 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 209
The logs dir is an empty one, I put now zero log files in it. Hopefully all extractors are doing it now.
Thanks!

With some experimenting, it looks like a Windows-2000-only problem.
The same binaries (both yours and the one that I built) run fine on Win2003 and on WinXP.
I built 2.2.4 with VC6 and got the same results - works OK on Win2003 & on WinXP, but I get IP addresses 0.0.0.0 on Win2k.
Apache 2.2.3 works fine on all these machines, regardless of which VC version it was built with, so I don't think it is a compiler problem.
Have you (or anyone?) tried Apache 2.2.4 on Windows 2000? I've seen this problem on two different Win2000 machines now, but I would be happier if someone else can confirm they see it too.

p.s. Where did you get the new vcredist_x86-sp1.exe ? I can't seem to find it on my Visual C++ 2005 system or on the Microsoft site anywhere.
I did find the new WinInstall merge modules (.msm files) in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules, but not any redistributable .exe's. |

Hello Tom!
Please try Win32DisableAcceptEx I read about that problem in apache dev list. But I haven't tried that out. |

Hi James,
Yes - I tried Win32DisableAcceptEx per Bill Rowe's note in the dev list.
Bill also posted a patch to correct the problem.
I responded that both of these solutions work to fix the win2000 problem with Apache 2.2.4 ( actually the problem is in APR 1.2.8 which Apache 2.2.4 uses).
Although I've seen the problem on several Win2000 machines now - I don't know of anyone else who has run into this.
Do you have a win2000 machine? Have you (or anyone else) seen this problem with 2.2.4?
I'd be glad to know that someone else has independently confirmed the problem with Windows 2000.

James,
I'm not sure what you are asking here.
To use the workaround, put the Apache directive Win32DisableAcceptEx in your httpd.conf file.
It is just a one-word directive with no arguments. It should be outside of any blocks like <Directory>, <VirtualHost>, <Location>, etc.
This causes Apache on Windows systems to use the standard socket accept() function instead of the higher-performance Microsoft-specific AcceptEx() function to accept incoming requests.
See Apache bug #41321 for more info about how the getpeername() function doesn't work on Windows 2000 if AcceptEx() is used.

Apache will use 5x more memory if you enable Win32DisableAcceptEx... I don't know why but it's almost more not worth it to not use it then use it for me since I only have problems a few times a day...
200 megs when I don't use it vs 1gig+ of memory usage when I do... |

Just to confirm - same thing here. Win2k and Apache 2.2.4 had the 0.0.0.0 problem. Fixed this by adding Win32DisableAcceptEx string to httpd.conf file.
Btw, I 've checked httpd.exe's footprint and it doesn't grow 5x times for me... Waiting for an official fix from apache
Thanks for the hints here - great forum! |
