Hey Andrew, You have to try and isolate the problem. It's a start to remove modules and make the issue go away in a lab setup and thus identify the component that is causing the problem. Try to nail down the individual requests that cause a server process/thread to hang. Ideally mod_forensic should tell you about this requests as the forensic log will tell you about incoming requests before they are handled. But I am not sure they are in the forensic log as your status suggests they are still being read. tcpdump outside of your apache could help here (start with "tcpdump -A -s 0 port xxx" here. Unless it is https traffic, then it would not tell you much. regs, Christian On Wed, Nov 07, 2007 at 09:31:58AM -0800, Andrew Rosolino wrote: > > Hi this keeps happening a lot where my server will be unresponsive... it just > hangs forever.. so I checked the apache server-status and there was 131 > requests that looked like this.. > > 39-16 2177 0/67/114 R 0.95 47 562 0.0 0.48 0.66 ? ? ..reading.. > 40-16 29189 0/220/220 R 3.40 47 135 0.0 0.67 0.67 ? ? ..reading.. > 41-16 3959 0/7/111 R 0.21 48 81 0.0 0.01 0.42 ? ? ..reading.. > > They were all just in the "reading" state and i couldnt get an open slot nor > anyone else who was viewing our websites.. > > I restarted apache and all was fine.. but then 20 minutes later they went > back all into a reading state.. it appears as if slowly each processes goes > into the reading state??
