Run Apache 2.2 as a single httpd.exe for debugging.

Question

I'm running Apache 2.2 in console mode on Windows to test an apache module I'm writing. By default, a parent httpd.exe is started (with one thread), which starts a child httpd.exe with a number of worker threads.

Now I have to attach the debugger to the child process each time to be able to debug my module.

Is there a way to configure Apache to run from a single httpd.exe? (Like good old days if I remember correctly) I've been searching the docs, but don't find anything else than limitations of the number of requests handles per thread or process...

Answer 1

You might want to use httpd.exe -X which will run apache as a single process without giving back terminal/cmd prompt control.
