Hi Guys,
We are have a problem with apache segfault on our production server. Please
read bellow for description.
Its a web application written in php5 and implemented most of the oop concepts
and lot of regular expressions, curl, mcrypt, simplexml, mssql, exceptions and
user defined error handlers. When we run this app on our test server, we had no
problems, but when we moved it on to the production(here we used have big
amount of traffic), initially we saw no problems from our end user testing but
from system log, we saw lots of 'segfaults' and thus requests were being
dropped(difference in traffic).
Weird thing is that, on the same apache httpd, there is an another application
running successfully which is having lesser oop concepts but with same
libraries. We are running these two applications with virtual host concept. We
see 'segfaults' only when the traffic is very high on the first application.
We have upgraded our php module from 5.2.6 to 5.2.9 but with no result. We have
the core dump of the apache below:
#0 0x000055555557dfee in ap_merge_per_dir_configs () from /usr/sbin/httpd

#11 0x000055555556ade4 in main () from /usr/sbin/httpd

We have tried modifying most of the curl implementation but with no use. Also
now we have no clues of the origin of the bug. Any kind of help regarding this
is mostly appreciated.
THANK YOU
