Hello all, I like to share a strange apache issue with you all, if any one can give me any clue. This is a opensuse 11.1 box with dual core amd 64 bit and 4 GB RAM. apache2-2.2.10-2.5 is installed with mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.67, for suse-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2 The server running since last 3 yrs without any issue. A few days ago I had problem with mysql. The sites stopped responding after a few min every time I restarted apache. I have found "too many mysql connection" issue with mysql and the problem solved after increasing the mysql connect_limit to 150. Yesterday the Server was rebooted at 8 AM and the apache running well with mysql. Approx at 6.30 pm the sites again stopped responding until now ( 6 am ) when I had to restart apache again. Though the apache and mysql are still running here, as seen from top. I have flipped through the apache error log and find as following [..........] [Wed May 19 18:43:16 2010] [notice] child pid 1173 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:17 2010] [notice] child pid 1174 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:17 2010] [notice] child pid 1175 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:17 2010] [notice] child pid 1176 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:17 2010] [notice] child pid 1177 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:18 2010] [notice] child pid 1178 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:18 2010] [notice] child pid 1179 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed May 19 18:43:18 2010] [notice] child pid 1180 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) <so many of the same errors> [..........] What might be the issue here ? I like to mention again that the server has been running since last three years with out any such problem. Do I need to apply any more tweak in mysql or apache settings ? If any one has prior experience with this problem or any clue about this, please let me know.
