This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith. (NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I am talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration somewhere. Please contact me immediately.) Debian bug tracking system administrator (administrator, Debian Bugs database) attached mail follows:
Package: apache2
After a random time that goes from 5 minutes to days apache starts forking a lot of processes, each using about 150m of VIRT and 20m of RES memory. Most of the processes die and appear as <defunct> in top or ps. After some tens of seconds the machine completely freeze and should be rebooted. The console (the only time I was able to have a look at it) has some kernel information about the oom-killer killing apache2 but unfortunately this is happening to a remote server and I don't have 24/24h access to it. Last time happened when I was logged in and I was able to "killall apache2" and save the box (this is how I understood what was happening.) Right now I lowered the number of max clients from 150 to 25 but this is not a definitive solution (for obvious reasons). If I can do any test to provide better data just let me know.
Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.3-3.1 Traditional model for Apache HTTPD apache2 recommends no packages.
version: 2.2.6-3 The patch to reduce the memory usage seems to have fixed this problem. Feel free to reopen the bug or file a new report if the problem appears again. -- This archive was generated by hypermail 2.1.8 : Wed Mar 19 2008 - 03:00:02 EDT |
