>Number: 1218 >Category: general >Synopsis: 1 Apache process takes up 40% of the server load >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Mon Oct 13 15:40:00 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.2.4 >Environment: FreeBSD2.2.2 gcc version 2.7.2.1 >Description: Apache will start and run correctly. After a few minutes, one process will begin to take up huge amounts of processor time and around 4 times the normal memory. The system does run a lot of CGI, but the memory/processor would all be handled by the cgi process, I assume. These processes also take a long time to die. >How-To-Repeat: http://www.insidetheweb.com >Fix: The only solution we have at this time is to run a script which checks to see if any httpd processes are lasting longer then a minute. The script then will restart apache if this occurrs. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
