Hi users@httpdAs I mentioned in an earlier email, we're running mod_perl on Apache (2.2) on RHEL, using the prefork MPM. I want to protect my server against Perl processes that grow much too large, as they can slow or even freeze the system. Therefore, I'm using Apache2::Resource, adding the following to httpd.conf:
PerlModule Apache2::Resource # set child memory limit to 1000 megabytes # RLIMIT_AS (address space) will work to limit the size of a process PerlSetEnv PERL_RLIMIT_AS 1000 PerlChildInitHandler Apache2::Resource
httpd processes die as expected when their VM size reaches 1000 MB.But here's the problem. After the httpd serving the Request dies, a new one is created to handle the same request. And so on. I think this is all done in Apache, as the access log doesn't show another request from the client. Is this correct? How can I limit the number of 'retries' of the failing request? Is there an Apache directive? And I'm still looking for a way to 'catch' the exception when the process dies.
