hi...
I use BSD::Resource to limit the RAM a mod_perl process could get. this
works perfectly right on one machine but on another the process does not
get any RAM at all and is killed immediately. both servers run under
linux and therefor I use RLIMIT_AS as described in the "mod_perl guide"
from stas bekman:
http://thingy.kcilink.com/modperlguide/performance/OS_Specific_notes.html
The following test script works as it should if it runs from the shell
(means: it runs a while, then it stops with "Out of memory error!"):
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\ntest...";
use BSD::Resource;
setrlimit RLIMIT_AS, 32000000, 64000000;
for($i=0; $i<6000000; $i++)
{
$a.="dsafadsfadsfadfhakdhfkjaf";
}
print "ok";
but it stops IMMEDIATELY with "out of memory"/"document contains no
data" if called via browser from apache/mod_perl. (it has nothing to do
with "forecasting": if the loop iterations are set lower (i.g. to 1) the
script should give "test...ok" but it stops immediately with "out of
memory" as well)
has anybody any ideas?
thanx in advance, best regards,
christoph bergmann
