Tru64 v5.1B : mod_python prevents httpd child restart after previous slave has
crashed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-110
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-110
Project: mod_python
Type: Bug
Components: core
Versions: 3.2
Environment: HP Tru64 5.1B / Apache 2.0.55 with mpm-worker
Reporter: Michel Jouvin
(issue already discussed on the mailing list...)
I recently installed mod_python 3.2b5 on Apache 2.0.54/2.0.55. I am running
with problems if httpd slave process segfaults or is killed. In this case, new
httpd child doesn't initialize properly and master process restart the max
number of processes/threads. We are running Apache with the MPM worker (on
Tru64 platform).
This behaviour appears only if mod_python is loaded into Apache. this doesn't
seem to be related to mod_python usage : this can happen if you load mod_python
even if no URL is configured to use it. You can easily reproduce the problem on
Tru64 platform (tested on several systems with different configuration and
different level of patches) by doing 'kill -KILL' of an Apache slave process.
This happens even on a server without any mod_python activity (no URL
configured to run a Python script) and with only the Apache standard modules
loaded (no PHP, no SVN...). This is a real pain because on our production
server we regularly have httpd child crashed because of PHP. In this situation,
httpd master doesn't succeed to restart properly a new child.
