Thanks a lot for the reply. It seem a bit different then, the "crash" we experienced occurred immediately after reloads. The leftover processes seem to prevent it from completing properly and websites aren't accessible even if the Apache status reports the service as running.
I didn't find someone with this exact issue but every similar case I found pointed toward the mpm & php modules. I tried migrating from mpm_prefork to mpm_event, disabled mod_php and switched to php-fpm. So far, the issue seems solved. I'll keep an eye on it and report back if it happens again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2054301 Title: [worker/event] Some child processes aren't killed on reload (graceful), being stuck in state "Sending Reply", leaving old logfiles open, disk fills up, server stops responding after some days, DoS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/2054301/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
