http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28175 memory leak in apache child process for proxypass Summary: memory leak in apache child process for proxypass Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.49 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: mod_proxy AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are using Apache 2.0.49 to forward POST operations to another web server on the same machine. The client is an applet that puts requests in the POST operation at a rate of several times/second. The response goes back to the applet. The POST is done to the same URL every time. Apache seems to allocate memory for each POST and never releases the memory. After running for about a day, Apache has used about 2 GBytes of memory. The 2 GBytes are memory resident (not paged out). Apache responsiveness with 2 GBytes of memory is very slow even though the machine has 4 GBytes of memory. There seems to be no indication of hung sockets or incomplete transactions. More information - we are using multi-processor PCs running Windows 2000 SP3 and we have set: Win32DisableAcceptEx Proxypass statements looks like: <IfModule mod_proxy.c> ProxyRequests On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow # Deny from .yahoo.com Allow from all </Proxy> # # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers. # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers) # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block # ProxyVia On ProxyPass /dfc2block2 http://dfc2appserver:7012/dfc2block2/ ProxyPass /CoMotion/ http://www.apacheserver:7787/CoMotion/ ProxyPass /network_monitor/ http://wl8/network_monitor/ ProxyPass /NetOps/ http://netopsserver:7003/NetOps/ </IfModule> # End of proxy directives. Apache 2.0.49 was installed with the standard Apache Windows installer and is running as a service. No other modules were added. We do not see this problem with Apache 2.0.47. Unfortunately, we also suffered from the AcceptEx problem, forcing us to upgrade. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
