Hmmm? Your subject line says prefork. With prefork, there are no threads. Anyway, no matter.
Stupid me. This happens when having developers crying in your ear all the time ;)
You should get cores from a segfault. Have you enabled them? (See Coredumpdirectory, and check limitations imposed by your operating system and shell).
I enabled CoreDumpDirectory in httpd.conf, made a "ulimit -c unlimited" and started Apache. When I had a segfault there was no corefile in the specified directory and Apache was still running. Only the forked process was gone and a new was spawned. After two days or sometimes a week Apache gets really slow and can handle only a fourth or less of it's usual traffic.
We recently (for 2.2.9) fixed a bug that fits that description: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44402 But that's not relevant to prefork.
Currently the page is not reachable.
Um, sounds like a problem in the network, below the level of apache.
I'm looking into this too.
PHP is always a prime suspect for this kind of problem. If you're using mod_php, make sure you really are running prefork, as PHP+threads is a classic recipe for random segfaults.
*lol*
Contradictory information is more of a problem.
I do my best. Cheers, Markus Meyer --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
