Hi.

I am running Apache HTTPD 2.2.4 with ModJK 1.2.21, both compiled from source on CentOS 4.4. I have a workers.properties file configured to send requests to Tomcat 5.5 on a separate machine within the internal network.

When receiving a ClientAbortException from Tomcat (shown in "tomcat_broken_pipe_error.txt"), it seems that the socket connection between ModJK and Tomcat is not closed out, and on the Application Server running Tomcat I'm observing a Life Descriptor leak (as shown in "lsof.txt").

I've tried setting "recovery_options" to 4 as suggested by http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html, but this has not corrected the problem.

Have attached all relevant log excerpts and configurations in hopes that someone has come across this and might have some insight.

Thanks in advance for your help. Will be happy to provide any other information I may have excluded.

Do you have special evidence, that the broken piepe errors correlate to the increase in file descriptors? Or are you only assuming this, because you can't find any other errors in the logs?

Can you see the connections for the file descriptors on the Apache machine and on the Tomcat machine (using netstat)? Are they in the same state? Which state?

At the moment I see no correlation between the client abort and a lost backend connection. There is another possible issue, if the file descriptor leak happens during tiume of low load. Since we just had a post about this on the list, I'm simply citing my last answer from another mail. Even if you think this does not apply to you, you should read the document the text refers to:

...

If your analysis is correct, it's a known problem, that firewalls often drop idle connections, so mod_jk and Tomcat should both be configured to shut down idle connections. On the Tomcat side you should use the attribute connectionTimeout in the configuration of your AJP Connector in server.xml. The units are in milliseconds, so 10 Minutes would be 600000. On the mod_jk side you should use connection_pool_timeout, units are seconds, so 10 minutes are 600.

We have a new docs page about these things, which will go live next week with our 1.2.24 release. There is a preview for the page under

http://people.apache.org/~rjung/mod_jk-dev/docs/generic_howto/timeouts.html

The next release 1.2.24 will include some improvements for this situation, but you would still need the timeouts on both ends.

Rainer
