Hello,
        We are using Apache 2.0 in our application. our application supports both windows and Unix (Tru64). I had built my module which uses Apache 2.0 APIs and creates DLL (test.dll) . We are loading this DLL by LoadModule in "httpd.conf". I was able to start Apache and also my application works properly without any problems on windows.

        The same application we support it on Unix also without any code change. I had built the same module with Apche 2.0 and created shared library "test.so". I load this library by LoadModule from httpd.conf.

LoadModule test_handle modules/test.so
        If I add this in httpd.conf, when I start Apache, simply it hangs, it does not come to the prompt and  does not spawn any hutted processes and also no error.

        If I don't load this shared library, Apache is starting no problems. If I load my shared library then only apache does not start. How Load module  ( my shared library) holds the apache from start. How LoadModule is related in spawning the httpd processes. I had tried many ways, nothing was working. what could be the problem. Same application is running on Windows, no problems at all, this problem I am facing it on Unix only, it does not give  any error/log to locate the problem.

Anybody has any clues or suggestions. any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
GS
