Need help tracing Apache startup error ...

[Kaat]

Hello,

I run Apache 1.3.29 as a console app on Win98SE - not the best choice, I know. When Apache starts up it issues the following message:

[warn] (2) No such file or directory: exec() may not be safe

I need advice on how to track down the problem. It's not a fatal error - ther server seems to run fine. I've checked every byte of my httpd.conf and there's no spurious files or directories in it. I've also tried error logging in debug more, but no more detail is given.

TIA for any tips.

Just a wild guess, but I am thinking it mayt not be Apache itself, but a module. Do you load modules dynamically, or are the compiled in the code?

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how to answer your question; I installed a binary, and the config of modules is 'stock', except for mod_status.so which I've enabled for remote monitoring.

Plus, I need to sort of morph this question into another ...

I since read elsewhere that my problem is a bug, as verified by Apache themselves. Their only suggestion until v1.3.30 is to put the error LogLevel to warn or above. Well, I did that (it's at crit), but the log still fills up with endless warnings. Any clue?

Thanks again.
