How to debug problems in mod_dtcl: First, try looking in your error logs. Often times the problem can be found there. Or, if you are getting a funny page, look in the page sources to make sure mod_dtcl isn't returning an error that is being hidden by some HTML. Second, you can try running a system call tracer on Apache/mod_dtcl. On Linux, this is 'strace', on FreeBSD, ktrace. Run it like this, after Apache has been stopped: "strace -o outputfile apache -X". That should give you some information about what's going on. If it's not enough, compile apache/mod_dtcl with the debugging flag set (-g with gcc), and run it like so: (assuming that you have a system with the GNU debugger, gdb) gdb apache > run -X ... crash or whatever > bt # does a stack trace These are things that are useful to post to the mailing list (if they're not too big), or send to the author(s). They are also good ways of learning about what's going on 'behind the scenes'. - davidw
