Package: apache2-mpm-itk Version: 2.2.22-13+deb7u3 Severity: important Since we have switched our Apache2 + mod_php web cluster to mod-itk, we have had intermittent problems starting the webservers.
We have an automated system (AlternC.org) that frequently reloads the apache webservers on different web nodes and sometimes it just fails. It restarts the servers with the following command: ssh alternc@$(basename $0) sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 reload Sometimes the webserver is left in an inconsistent state. We've had situations where two trees of processes would be present, or where the parent process would be gone. We have yet to investigate more fully what exactly is happening, but the webserver basically becomes unresponsive and gets kicked out of the load balancer. The workaround we have found so far is to stop apache, kill all apache processes then restart it: service apache2 stop killall -9 apache2 service apache2 start It seems to me there should be provisions in the init.d for that kind of situations and a reload should never leave apache in such a weird state. We'll try to provide more details later, but so far we associate this with the mod_itk switch, because we didn't have those problems before.
