Hello, I am really desperated with my problem...What i have is Apache 2.2.3-5, PHP 4.4.4-9 on Debian lenny, dual Xeon 3.2GHz, SCSI drives.
The problem:Normally, there are about 40-60 Apache processes and everything works fine. Then, in a minute, Apache spawns hundreds of processes (e.g. from 50 to 900) and most of them are waiting for an access to log file (*1).
There's no any strange traffic, access logs don't show anything special (normal number of requests).
Firstly, I thought it was some sort of DOS attack and installed mod_evasive but all I got was one more strange observation: while normally mod_evasive logs DOS attempts, there's no single entry in it's log from the time when Apache goes mad.
This, and the (*1) fact make me think, that's a logging problem. Log partition is NOT full, but I noticed, that Apache logs stopped rotating.
Is there any known issue like this? I'm fairly sure logs are involved but that's all I was able to figure out.
