[mapserver-users] Mapcache segmentation faults under high load

[Pieter Callewaert]

Thanks Andreas, you brought me on a lead, indeed the ulimit for core size was on 0. Also it seems ubuntu running apport does not generate coredumps, had to change the core pattern.

I've a core dump now, checked with GDB, but not sure what I'm searching at...

Kind regards,

Hi Pieter,

have you checked the ulimit for the user the Apache runs under? See man core(5) for possible reasons why no core is dumped.
