[users@httpd] Problems with Apache 2.2.0 as a conventional proxy

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

 



Hi,

After years of frustration with Squid, I'm now using 32-bit Apache 2.2.0 as a
caching web proxy for my group.  The underlying OS is 64-bit Solaris 10 running
on Opteron.

My initial configuration attempt was

$ ./configure --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-ftp \
    --enable-proxy-http --enable-ssl --enable-file-cache \
    --prefix=/aux0/apache2 --enable-cache --enable-disk-cache
    --enable-mem-cache --enable-deflate

<IfModule mod_cache.c>
    <IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
        CacheRoot /cache/apache
        CacheEnable disk /
        CacheDirLevels 5
        CacheDirLength 3
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_mem_cache.c>
        CacheEnable mem /
        MCacheSize 40960
        MCacheMaxObjectCount 10000
        MCacheMinObjectSize 1
        MCacheMaxObjectSize 20480
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

However, I've encountered two distinct problems; I'm hoping for help
with these.  Please don't send me back to Squid.

    - I see a lot of httpd's dying on SEGVs; depending on which modules
      I enable or disable, the stack traces change.  I'm now running apache
      under libumem[1] with the debugging features turned on.  I'm seeing
      crashes in cache_remove() [2].

    - I've hit the text/css vs. text/plain bug which seems to have bothered
      other users.  I've reviewed existing docs on this problem, including:

      http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Incorrect_MIME_Type_for_CSS_Files
      http://birdhouse.org/blog/2004/11/11/mime-vexation/#more-1379

      and others.  But I have yet to find a clear solution, and
      the problem seems to be sporadic.  It was especially noticeable
      to my users when www.sun.com wasn't displaying correctly :)

Time permitting I'll try to find the cause of the crashing; at the
moment it seems to me that disabling all of the caching helps-- but that
seems to defeat the point of running a "web cache."

Thanks for your help,
