Re: Need help with debugging Apache on Debian 10.2
The PHP issues were primarily involved with Wordpress plugins. I had to go through and find several that were not compatible with PHP 7. I _think_ I found and fixed all of those, but it’s certainly possible that the issue might be caused by a bad plugin. But I don’t know for sure. I’ve tried digging through Apache’s error.log and have not found any more obvious error messages to point me at things that need fixing. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling PHP, on the theory that I may have confused it by making the jump not only through multiple versions of Debian, but also multiple versions of PHP. And yes, I have the PHP mod active in Apache. Re: getting a core dump… that’s the part I need help with. I did get the debugger installed but I am not experienced with how to use it in a way that’d let me actually get useful data. The big blocking problem would seem to be that I don’t actually know what’s causing the problem, so I can’t trigger it on purpose. So it would seem that I’d need to run Apache with the debugger somehow in the hope that I’d actually catch the problem when it happens? But I don’t know how to do that either. > On Jan 17, 2020, at 9:12 PM, wrote: > > I'd look first into that PHP part (I'm assuming you're running > mod_php, so it's in the Apache binary, and a crash in PHP would > crash the server, too). > > Which kind of problems did you have with PHP? > > Any possibility of getting a core dump you can look into with > the debugger? > > (Sorry for not looking at your web site -- bad connectivity > at the moment), > > Cheers > -- tomás

P.S. Confirmed that systemctl reload apache2.service throws no errors. > On Jan 17, 2020, at 8:38 PM, Angela Korra'ti > wrote: > > Yes we did, we did the upgrade in two distinct stages.

Re: Need help with debugging Apache on Debian 10.2
Yes we did, we did the upgrade in two distinct stages. We did run into roadblocks as we went, but those were mostly around PHP incompatibilities that we had to address to bring our sites back up. I’m _pretty_ sure we don’t have any config incompatibilities in Apache… because yeah, Apache does in fact run. But I’ll doublecheck if the reload command you’re asking about throws any actual errors. And perhaps a config inspection of our Apache install is called for. We’ve got not only the main config file, but several supplementary ones for the various domains we host as well. > On Jan 17, 2020, at 4:43 PM, Dan Ritter wrote: > > Did you upgrade to 9 in between? > > 8 had apache 2.2, and a bunch of config things changed from 2.2 > to 2.4.
