ID: 40286 Comment by: scripts at topducks dot com Reported By: gabriel at oxeva dot fr Status: No Feedback Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: Linux 2.6 PHP Version: 5.2.0+ Assigned To: dmitry New Comment:
I'm using php5.2.9 mod_fcgid, not using children method. Whenever I restart apache I get orphaned php processes. Without the cron job to check and kill them off they would waste a lot of memory. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-21 23:34:39] xani666 at gmail dot com In my case that bug was happening on apache + php 5.2.8 + mod_fastcgi + mod_suexec with about ~20 sites (3-4 busy most time of day, other used from time to time) with fastcgi options -idle-timeout 240 -maxClassProcesses 1 and PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=4 so processes died quite often. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-09 08:35:41] natit at ctvnet dot dp dot ua HELP CHILDREN OF UKRAINE!

As far as I remember, the child php processes were dropped by the parent php process (acting as a dispatcher) because apache's fastcgi process manager "Fastcgi PM" sent a SIGKILL signal to it (the only PID the fastcgi PM is aware of because it spawned it). This signal is normally only sent if the process do not exit a few seconds after being sent a SIGTERM signal. The problem is not the parent being killed, but the children waiting on their own loop infinitely. I guess this bug is in the fastcgi accept loop, which leaves the php children stalled waiting on a FD without any process attached to the other side. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
