I'm running PHP as a FCGI (FastCGI) module to isolate my user environments from each other properly.
No specific script causes this behaviour, I have multiple "handwritten" PHP scripts as well as Typo3 and Mambo / Joomla / whatever processes running and they all collect open file descriptors roughly at the same speed. Here is an example virtualhost configuration: <VirtualHost xx.xxx.xxx.xx:80> ServerName foobar.name ServerAlias *.foobar.name ServerAdmin j...@xxxxxxxx.de DocumentRoot "/xxxxx/webs/jens/name.foobar/" FcgidIdleTimeout 30 SuexecUserGroup "jens" "jens" <Directory "/xxxxx/webs/jens/name.foobar/"> <FilesMatch "\.(php)$"> SetHandler fcgid-script FCGIWrapper /xxxxx/jens/foobar.name/php-fcgi-starter .php Options +ExecCGI </FilesMatch> Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> Alias /awstats "/xxxxx/webs/jens/awstats/foobar.name" Alias /awstats-icon "/usr/share/awstats/icon/" ErrorLog "/xxxxx/logs/jens-foobar.name-error.log" CustomLog "/xxxxx/logs/jens-foobar.name-access.log" combined </VirtualHost> Here is the referenced (autogenerated) "php-fcgi-starter" script: umask 022 PHPRC='/xxxxx/jens/foobar.name/' export PHPRC PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=0 export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=250 export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS exec /usr/bin/php-cgi -c '/xxxxx/jens/foobar.name/' I will read up on FPM, thank you for the info. But I still regard this as a bug ;) Cheers Jens -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023591 Title: php5 opens /proc/XXX/auxv thousands of times until Apache crashes with "too many open files" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1023591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
