Program crashed - MY FAULT 🔗 link

Henrik,
At some point just before I patched the file, I had also added the
"apache" key word to a host in bb-hosts.  After removing it and
restarting Hobbit, everything returned to normal. 

Sorry for blaming that on the patch.  I will try to re-patch it and let
you know if the patch works, as it probably does.  

Thank you for your help!
Michael Lowery

Ok, I re-downloaded RC2, un-tarred, re-configured, did make and make
install, I still get the "program crashed fatal signal caught" on
the
bbtest page and all network tests are still purple.

Any idea what I need to do to get back to the working hobbit I had
before I tried to apply the patch?

bbtest-net shouldn't crash like that, and it cannot possibly have
anything to do with the patch you installed. (Especially not after you
re-downloaded and re-built it all).

Send me the ~/server/bin/bbtest-net binary, and the newest core-file
from either ~/server/ or ~/server/tmp/

I got a report from another user that this can happen if you define a
test only as "http", e.g.

  10.0.0.1   www.foo.com # http

So I'd like to have a look at your bb-hosts file also, if that is
possible.

Henrik

I thought the "apache" crashes were fixed in RC2. If your bbtest-net
is RC2 - "bbtest-net --version" - then I'm still curious to see what
caused this to crash.  So a copy of the bbtest-net binary, the core
dump and your bb-hosts file is still interesting.

I'm unable to send the files, they are too big for the mail server to
accept.  I've tried sending them separately and separately with maximum
compression.  Do you have another method?

OK, you had an error in the syntax for the check. It was 
  "cont=apache;http://199.227.199.22/server-status?auto)"
but when you use a "cont" setting - instead of just the "apache"
keyword - you must have some data for the content-matching. And
the parenthesis at the end looks like a typo :-)

So it should have been
  "cont=apache;http://199.227.199.22/server-status?auto;.";

Or just
  "apache=http://199.227.199.22/server-status?auto";
which internally in bbtest-net becomes the same thing.


I'll go back and see why it crashed - it shouldn't...


Henrik

If it helps any, I didn't have anything after the "apache" key word, no
parenthesis, nothing...

It looked something like:

xxx.xxx.199.22 gandalf.domain.com # # BBPAGER BBNET BBDISPLAY
http://host1.domain.com http://host2.domain.com http://host3.domain.com
http://host4.domain.com http://host5.domain.com pop3 smtp ssh dns ftp
mrtg mailq trap apache

all on one line, of course.

[bbtest-net crashes]

OK, looking at the problem after a couple of days usually helps.

bbtest-net was mis-calculating the size needed for a buffer to hold
the apache-test, and coming up a few bytes short. This probably
explains a lot of the weird crashes that the apache test has
triggered.
