After following Ubuntu tile server setup instructions I encounter the following segmentation fault any time Apache2 is started. I've attempted re-installing mod_tile from SVN but still hit this crash.

So I grabbed a core dump and did some mucking around in gdb at frame 4 we see load_tile_config() get called then everything falls to pieces. Appears to be a double free in mod_tile.c in load_tile_config(), a quick look through the function didn't turn up anything that should cause the crash but I don't know this code base so maybe I missed something :/

What version of Unbuntu is this with?

(11 Jan '13, 21:51) SomeoneElse ♦

Ubuntu 12.10 quantal running on a 64bit machine

I was hitting this on 12.04, preformed the update to 12.10 and still hit so I started digging deeper.

Although I haven't tested the 12.10 version yet, so it is possible that there is a general bug, I rather suspect there is something in the config that upsets it (of cause that is also a bug, but perhaps easier to work around). Could you post the site config and the renderd config?

Good point, updated post to include links to config files

I can avoid the crash now by removing the ATTRIBUTION and DESCRIPTION tags from /etc/renderd.conf but there is definitely a bug in mod_tile

hey, i have the same error.

i didnt tested it yet, but have a look at the end of the method load_tile_config()

if (description) free(description);

if (attribution) free(description);

if (hostnames) free(description);

that looks wrong :)

edit: that fixed it for me

if (description) free(description);

if (attribution) free(attribution);

if (hostnames) free(hostnames);

doh, yep that should be the issue.

Ah, yes, that is indeed wrong. I'll commit a fix for that soon. I wonder if I committed the wrong version, as I noticed that error before committing and thought I had already fixed it. Oh well... Thanks for the report.

I fixed those double frees in SVN revision 29190 now. Hopefully that will solve the issue. Could you please confirm this? I will also upload a fixed package soon.
