hi, for debug purposes I have configured apache to produce core dump files, so I added the following to my httpd.conf:
CoreDumpDirectory /apache2-gdb-dump
then I've changed the owner of that dir:
chown daemon httpd.conf
(infact I've checked the owner of the process with ps -aux) finally I did:
ulimit -c unlimited
unfortunately when I restart apache I don't see any core.* files in apache2-gdb-dump, I've also tried to change permissions to 777, without results. I'm wondering if this issue it's related to the owner of apache2-gdb-dump .
