Greetings Folks, We have been running pretty smoothly 3 instances each of Apache2 (2 of them on 2.0.48 and the 3rd one is running 2.0.51) for over an year now on 2 load balanced Solaris 8 (SunFire 480R 2 - Ultra Sparc 3 900Mhz CPU and 4 GB RAM) boxes. 2 of the instances (2.0.48 - Extranet and 2.0.51 - Intranet) have Netegrity Siteminder Agents running on them and nothing else (no perl, no php, nothing. They are straight forward Reverse Proxies). I do have SSL enabled on each of the instances and use a Rainbow CSwift accelerator hardware. But since the begining of the year, we have had this issue 3-4 times when the Extranet instance (on either of the box) stops responding, the child processes reduces from 8-10 to 2-3 and the error log is filled with the errors below. Even the server-status page fails to load. It happened again twice today, once on each server but on the same Extranet instance which has the web agent. Also fyi, the Extranet instance serves bulk of the load, say about 80%. And today it happened very late in the day (around 5:00pm and 6:00pm PST) which is normally very light for us. The server CPU and memory usages are pretty low (less then 30%). [Mon Sep 26 18:01:09 2005] [notice] child pid 11892 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Mon Sep 26 18:25:03 2005] [notice] child pid 27766 exit signal Illegal instruction (4) [Mon Sep 26 18:25:42 2005] [notice] child pid 27765 exit signal Illegal instruction (4) [Mon Sep 26 18:25:45 2005] [notice] child pid 326 exit signal Illegal instruction (4) The management is wanting to know the cause and so do I. What is the best way to debug this ? I know we could upgrade to the latest 2.0.54 and we are in the process to do so and move from Solaris to Suse SLES 9 in about 2-3 weeks time. Keep in mind, it only happens sporadically and we cannot reproduce it. A restart of the instance resolves the issue. Here is how I have compiled Apache (config.nice) CFLAGS="-DSSL_EXPERIMENTAL -DSSL_ENGINE"; export CFLAGS echo $CFLAGS "./configure" \ "--prefix=/opt/apache2e" \ "--with-mpm=worker" \ "--enable-ssl" \ "--with-ssl=/opt/openssl" \ "--enable-nonportable-atomics=yes" \ "--enable-proxy=shared" \ "--disable-ipv6" \ "--cache-file=/export/home/xxxxx/install/apache_openssl/httpd-2.0.48e/config.cache" \ "$@" regards - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jignesh Badani Intranet/Extranet Technical Services --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
