ID: 43610 User updated by: oliver at realtsp dot com Reported By: oliver at realtsp dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: FreeBSD 6.2 PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment:
We have tried with http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz Result is unchanged. NOTE that the php workers and parent processes are still showing on ps after the crash (same as before the crash). But lightly cannot get a sensible response from them.

When I load the server with siege, once the fastcgi-php parent process reaches a load of ~200 concurrent requests the process appears to crash and refuses to accept further connections, even after the load is removed again. Only way to recover is to restart lighttpd and thereby the fastcgi-php server (and its children). Clearly a load of 200+ is probably overloaded not sustainable. However a non-recoverable crash means that even when a temporary load drops away (produced by some aggressive robot on our production setup for example) the server remains unusable and returns 500 responses. php version as below, but patched with this: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/main/SAPI.c?r1=1.202.2.7.2.15&r2=1.202.2.7.2.16&pathrev=PHP_5_2&diff_format=u because of this bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43295 That patch removes the errors on /root/php-5.2.5/main/SAPI.c(445) but the "overload crash remains".

NOTE: despite what lighty says above..it does not restart the php parent process. I am not sure why, but this is a separate issue i believe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43610&edit=1
