in thread [SOLVED] Configuring Apache VirtualHosts using mod_perl 2

Well then :) thats interesting

Makes me think of chroot and child processes without STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR and with different $PATH or other vars ...

ENOTTY getpwent -> getlogin man page on HP-UX

[ENOTTY] None of the standard input, standard outp +ut, or standard error is a terminal, or for the first of these that is a terminal, no current login is registered on that terminal, or the session leader process of the calling process has no con‐ trolling terminal.

So not exactly on point but same ballpark ... apache is creating some kind of limited child processes ... i've seen this on win32 ...

Next step I might take would be strace :)

Or just kick the report up the chain (mod_perl, apache, ossupport..??)

Maybe consult some crontab ... faqs..

Neat :)

    I don't know much about the technicalities of it, but CentOS 7 uses systemd which is running Apache inside a 'slice', this is unlike previous versions of CentOS which used the SysV init style where things more or less run in the root environment. As far as I understand, the idea is to offer each daemon a "clean" running environment where daemons won't interfere with eachother.
