logrotate typically sends the server -HUP, meaning 'restart', rather than -USR1 meaning 'gracefully restart'. The difference being that the former kills existing connections and the later doesn't. In both cases the parent process isn't restarted. However it isn't clear that this issue has anything to do with log rotation.. Does the problem happen while the logs are being rotated? Assuming that the restart is failing somehow, try watching the blocked processes using strace, or your system's equivalent. http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html > To be completely honest, I don't really know what to do in this > situation... the system was always fully functional and now It acts like > this. I applied an connlimit to the firewall but it didn't work also. What gave you the impression that the processes were blocked waiting on the logging phase? Can you post strace output? -- noodl
