Debugging apache seg fault with gdb

  • 772

Apache on a production server of mine is seg faulting intermittently. I have enabled core dump option in apache configuration and have several dumped core files. Unfortunately, since it is a production server, apache or the loaded modules are not compiled with debug symbols. From what I understand, gdb cannot do much without debug symbols.

Can I at least find out which module is causing the seg fault, without debug symbols? If so, how?

Following is the output from a gdb backtrace

(gdb) bt full
#0  0xb7f1f832 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
No symbol table info available.
#1  0xb7be82bc in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

No symbol table info available.
#6  0xb7b2a63e in clone () from /lib/libc.so.6
No symbol table info available.

Does this mean that /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is causing the seg fault?
