Re: Semi OT: Apache goes into frozen state [solved - I think]

2011-04-13 Thread Johnny Miller
It's been a few days without a crash so I think I've got it beat. It was a bug in my code where I had a RandomAccessFile that I failed to close. What threw me off was that Apache failed and not the app. Once I used lsof on the app instances I saw the growing list of open files. Anyway thanks

Hi Johan, Yeah, I'm not doing anything unusual like creating a DB connection per server. If I run from the CLI: sudo lsof | grep httpd | wc -l The count kind of bounces up and down between 500 - 1,500 If I just look at the contents instead of the count I see a bunch of redundant connections

Mssr. Robert, Thank you for the suggestion. If I run the command you suggested I get a fluctuating count between 3 and 9. While that is way below the threshold you suggested I'm not sure I'm convinced that is the whole story. Otherwise why would I be having a problem? Best, Johnny On Apr

You are confusing number of Apache processes with file handles/sockets. The error message Too many open files in system:Some/path/on/system refers to the latter, the number of connections is the former. Chuck On Apr 6, 2011, at 12:10 PM, Johnny Miller wrote: Mssr. Robert, Thank you for
