I've been all around mod_jrun22 in the last couple days, and I know way more than I want to. However, I can't get it to work quite right.
Environment: Debian Lenny 5.0.6 Apache 2.2.9, Worker MPM (ideally) JRun4 build 108673 CF 8.0.1 Enterprise in multiserver config I've compiled the connector with apxs2. Debian's default MPM is the worker (threaded) MPM. Under load I received a bunch of messages in the apache error log, along the lines of "startSync - detected broken mutex!"... In digging through the code, it appears unless APACHE_APR_THREAD is defined when the connector is compiled, the mutex library call is never made. (At least for linux... Windows connectors have other means) I find this interesting because wsconfig doesn't define that flag either, and I can't find it anywhere in /usr/include/... So, I define the flag and recompile. All the errors go away and the connector works great. Except that a couple requests go out to lunch. Under heavy load, mod_jrun will drop random connections with the following message: JRun will not accept request. Check JRun web server configuration and JRun mappings on JRun server. Which responds to the client with an ugly 500 error. I understand the error when you send a file extension like .html to JRun and there's no mapping in the web.xml... However, this is for a cfm page, whether it's a index.cfm found via DirectoryIndex or some other cfm page on the server. 99%+ of the requests go through fine, it's just this one request every couple hours that won't behave that's driving me crazy. So it can't be a config issue. Turning on tracing would likely write so much information to the log as to be unusable with the load required to reproduce this issue. Switching to the perfork MPM removes the problem entirely. It does, however, significantly increase CPU load on the server. I've used JMeter to send tens of thousands of requests against the connector without any issues. It's very hard to create artificial load to reproduce the problem... but real load makes it happen several times a day. Which brings me to my question... Is anyone out there successfully using mod_jrun22 in an Apache 2.2 environment with the worker MPM? CF8.0.1/CF9/CF9.0.1? Success stories? I've considered upgrading JRun/CF to more recent versions, but a quick scan of the JRun connector code in CF9 and 9.0.1 yields only minor changes... Looks like mod_deflate fixes finally made it into 9.0.1 and 9.0 mostly pertained to Winsock2 upgrades. Any information would be helpful! Thanks.
