Enhance mod_whatkilledus to print backtraces
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM HTTP Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Enhance mod_whatkilledus to print * * backtraces. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Enhance mod_whatkilledus to print backtraces. Due to an error in early full installs of IHS 855 and 9.0, the default configuration mistakenly omits mod_backtrace but includes mod_whatkilledus. By adding mod_backtrace logic to mod_whatkilledus, backtraces will be available in the error_log more frequently without requiring waiting for a subsequent crash.
Problem conclusion
mod_whatkilledus will now print backtraces. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in IBM HTTP Serv fix packs 8.5.5.21 and 9.0.5.9. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
