CoreDumpDirectory

Synopsis

                  CoreDumpDirectory directory
Default: <serverroot>
Server config

When a program crashes under Unix, a snapshot of the core code is dumped to a file. You can then examine it with a debugger to see what went wrong. This directive specifies a directory where Apache tries to put the mess. The default is the ServerRoot directory, but this is normally not writable by Apache’s user. This directive is useful only in Unix, since Win32 does not dump a core after a crash.
