[users@httpd] Runaway thread, troubleshooting help needed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

I'm pretty new to the concept of threads and debugging them - I
currently am running...

Server version: Apache/2.0.53
Server built:   Mar  6 2005 21:52:49

I am utilizing the worker mpm to serve a moderate volume website with
two servers.  I extensively use mod_perl, but I realize this is not a
mod_perl list.  I purely wish to learn ways of finding out what
stage/process is going on when this thread/process locks up.  This
should be general to apache, right?

My symptoms are that a server will start utilizing 100% of one of the
4 cpus.  (this happens on both)  This usually happens within 18 hours
of a server startup, but seems entirel.y random.  If I do an
'apachectl restart', the problem will almost always go away.  However,
even on shutdown, there will be a several httpd processes left that
will not die without a kill -9 to them specifically.

When I display top, it shows the cpu usage, but it doesn't show which
process is using it - sorting by cpu usage shows no process using more
than about 0.3% of the cpu.

I need help.  Can you suggest commands that would allow me to track
the threads, see what might be happening in the request stream when
this occurs?

Hopefully, 

Skylos
