Bug#450831: apache2-mpm-prefork: apache does not start with: No space left on device: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock error

From: Alessandro Polverini <alex(at)nibbles.it>

Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Version: 2.2.6-1
Severity: normal

Today on my box apache was down and did not start any more, this was the error from the logs:

[crit] (28)No space left on device: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock Configuration Failed

But there was plenty of space on the file system.

After googling around a bit I discovered the problem was in the semaphores and a way to solve the problem is: ipcs -s | grep www-data | awk ' { print $2 } ' | xargs ipcrm sem

So I suppose there is a memory leak somewhere.
