how to force apache to crash?

I want to test something when apache crashes. The thing I want to test involves Windows asking me if it wants to send an error report. Any way to make Apache crash and ask me to send an error repo开发者_如何学JAVArt on it?

Just kill the apache instance running.

In windows: go to taskmanager>kill the process

In linux: pkill processname

Take a look at Advanced Process Termination, especially its crash options, those might do what you want (display the send error report message box), although I haven't tested it. It's worth a shot though.

I agree with the earlier idea that you should crash it using windows.

The basic of the apache is that for each connection request, it "fork" a new process. Since Windows don't have a built in "fork" functionality, it has to create a new process each request. As such, it can be glitchy especially if there are multiple processes running.

For me, everytime I "restart" apache on Windows while maintaining a connection, I get an "Illegal Operation" from Apache's process. Not sure that can be reproduced 100% of the time, but it does occur to me from time to time when I restart.
