I have a big problem with apache 2.2.4-3ubuntu0.1 of latest gutsy. Apache prefork uses a "internal dummy connection" to tell childs they should die. When apache emits that request to a child (too many idle workers, MaxRequestsPerChild reached...), the children correctly dies (is not longer a proc in the system), but the apache main process still thinks it's "Gracefully finishing". Server status page shows processes on this state in a number increasing until Maxclients is reached and apache stops answering connections. It can be reproduced on my system easily issuing a /etc/init.d/apache2 reload. With that I get a lot of connections in the 'G' state. I'm also seeing problems with /etc/init.d/apache2 restart. It thinks its stoped too soon, and the start finds that the socket is still being used, logs are locked or other problems. I have seen a maybe related issue on apache's bugzilla: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42829 But I'm not sure. It's on a xen virtual machine, maybe it's a problem related to this. ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Apache processes stuck in "Gracefully finishing" state https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220220 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
