Hi Guys,
We are have a problem with apache segfault on our production server. Please
read bellow for description.
Its
a web application written in php5 and implemented most of the oop
concepts and lot of regular expressions, curl, mcrypt, simplexml,
mssql, exceptions and user defined error handlers. When we run this app
on our test server, we had no problems, but when we moved it on to the
production(here we used have big amount of traffic), initially we saw
no problems from our end user testing but from system log, we saw lots
of 'segfaults' and thus requests were being dropped(difference in
traffic).
Weird thing is that, on the same apache httpd, there
is an another application running successfully which is having lesser
oop concepts but with same libraries. We are running these two
applications with virtual host concept. We see 'segfaults' only when
the traffic is very high on the first application.
We have upgraded our php module from 5.2.6 to 5.2.9 but with no result. We have
the core dump of the apache below:
#0 0x000055555557dfee in ap_merge_per_dir_configs () from /usr/sbin/httpd

#11 0x000055555556ade4 in main () from /usr/sbin/httpd

We
have tried modifying most of the curl implementation but with no use.
Also now we have no clues of the origin of the bug. Any kind of help
regarding this is mostly appreciated.
THANK YOU
