Bug#399776: apache2: Apache 2.2 spawns lots of processes and freeze the box

2007-10-25 Thread Stefan Fritsch
Hi,

I suspect this might be a php bug. Is there anyone who can reproduce 
this bug who does _not_ use php5?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Stefan

I'm setting this down to important as
(a) we need more data, and
(b) there is a workaround.

Please feel free to increase severity again if you have more
information.


Cheers,
Andi

It could be. Anyway, reducing the number of clients to 25 solved out
problem. (Unfortunately you couldn't always do that.) I'll do some
checks using tcpdump and IE 6 and report to the BTS.

Definitely no.

Maybe you could try disabling modules one by one to see which one is the
cause? There are reports about memory leaks in

mod_python (with more than one handler):

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-181?page=all

and mod_proxy:

http://www.modsecurity.org/blog/archives/2006/08/apache_reverse.html

Try whether MaxRequestsPerChild, MaxKeepAliveRequests, etc. help.

We have mod_python, redirection with mod_proxy/mod_rewrite, PHP with
memory limit set to 32M, DAV and DAV/SVN. The are no errors or other
interesting entries in apache logs nor in any other log.

The box has 1Gb of RAM and 3Gb of swap.

I know that 150 processes can use up all memory and that's why we
reduced the max clients to 25 but the real problem here is that Apache
2.0.53 run for about 1 year with the exact same configuration without
any problem. The problems started the day after the upgrade to 2.2.

What was strange was the high number of defunct apache2 processes. I'd
expect to find something about them in apache error.log but no, nothing
was there.
