Worker MPM with kill in Apache

0 votes
373 views

I started apache server which has worker as mpm in debug mode. I killed the process with kill -9 then it kills the process and stop debug. But when I am using kill -term PID then it is not killing process. Whereas kill -term PID is woking with prefork debug.Â
If I want to use kill -term PID in debug mode of worker then how to do that.

Apache 2.2.22 mpm-prefork workers hanging - timeouts

We have apache running over https with a module that provides a proxy to (interalia) websockets and tcp sessions. Source is at:
https://github.com/abligh/apache-websocket (if anyone is interested.)

Following a relatively recent upgrade to apache (sadly I don't know which, but somewhere between Lucid and Precise), we ended up with some worker processes that hang with 100% CPU usage. Investigation with gdb shows this appears to be the destruction of the output bucket brigade going around and around without ever terminating. No data is flowing (obviously). These hung processes will persist for days.

No doubt there is a bug either in our module or apache that causes this, but I'm more interested in how apache kills runaway workers, or more accurately why it's not killing them here.

We are using:

 RequestReadTimeout body=300,minrate=1

This should require a minimum data rate of 1 byte per second. Is RequestReadTimeout only checked if the process actually is in/exiting select()? If so, how do I do a watchdog?

Or is the issue that minrate 1 with a previous sensible datarate generates an enormous timeout value that might be in days? If so is the right approach:

RequestReadTimeout body=300-3600,minrate=1

or similar?

We're now using:

apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.2
Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
Server built: Nov 8 2012 21:37:30

Apache: Problems with proxy balancer in apache 2.2.22

Im trying to configure the proxy_balancer, but still having problems. Here is my configuration: 

BalancerMember http://172.16.14.81:80 
retry=120 
timeout=10 

BalancerMember http://172.16.14.82:80 
retry=1 
timeout=10 
status=+H

But when The first worker fails, request are not redirected to the failover worker. For this I have to wait for more than 7 minutes. Is this behavior normal?

Apache: Single quotes in ajax POST data getting prefixed with backslash

I run an instance of apache under OS X which I use to pass data to PHP scripts using ajax. If I have a string such as "O'Toole" (without the double-quotes), then when the string (which I pass through encodeURIComponent in the browser) arrives in the PHP script, the single-quote is prefixed with a backslash. That is, the string above becomes "O'Toole".

I want my app to run under Win7, and I observe that there, the backslash is *not* inserted. This difference is a bit irritating, especially as I am having trouble discovering which component (browser, apache, PHP) is adding the backslash. On the whole, I'd rather not have it, but I'd settle for both platforms adding it. Then at least code common to both platforms can remove it.
