Hi

I'm testing 389 on Ubuntu, but currently being blocked by the admin server cgi-bin/htmladmin segfaulting after logging in as admin from the web gui:

[89394.801974] htmladmin[18156]: segfault at 35 ip 0000000000403a26 sp 00007fffaca24840 error 4 in htmladmin[400000+7000]

I'm running the latest versions on the current development release. How to debug the segfault? Is it possible to give arguments to the binary from the commandline?

oops, didn't think to check the issue tracker :)

In order to test htmladmin from the command line: You must first install 389-admin and run setup-ds-admin.pl to set up a DS and admin server.

Next, build adminserver from source with full debug symbols (i.e. use CFLAGS="-g ..." not CFLAGS="-O2 -g ...". I usually do something like this:

mkdir built ; cd built ; CFLAGS="-g" /path/to/adminsource/configure --with-fhs --enable-debug .... ; make

Next, take a look at the source - there is a tests directory. In this directory is a file called setup.sh. Edit this file to reflect your environment. You can also control: which cgis to run whether to use gdb or valgrind

from the built directory above, run setup.sh like this:

/path/to/adminsource/tests/setup.sh /path/to/adminsource/tests

Thanks for the instructions! I've added a backtrace to the ticket.
