Hello,
I am really desperated with my problem...
What i have is Apache 2.2.3-5, PHP 4.4.4-9 on Debian lenny, dual Xeon
3.2GHz, SCSI drives.
The problem:
Normally, there are about 40-60 Apache processes and everything works
fine. Then, in a minute, Apache spawns hundreds of processes (e.g. from
50 to 900) and most of them are waiting for an access to log file (*1).
There's no any strange traffic, access logs don't show anything special
(normal number of requests).
Firstly, I thought it was some sort of DOS attack and installed
mod_evasive but all I got was one more strange observation: while
normally mod_evasive logs DOS attempts, there's no single entry in it's
log from the time when Apache goes mad.
This, and the (*1) fact make me think, that's a logging problem. Log
partition is NOT full, but I noticed, that Apache logs stopped rotating.
Is there any known issue like this? I'm fairly sure logs are involved
but that's all I was able to figure out.
List of enabled Apache modules (ls from mods-enabled):
actions.load
alias.load
auth_basic.load
authn_file.load
authz_default.load
authz_groupfile.load
authz_host.load
