--- Comment #9 from David MartÃnez Martà <deavidsed...@gmail.com> --- Thomas, we were getting the same problem, and your comment helped a lot. "Mutex sem" seems the solution. Did two tests in siege using this command: siege -f /tmp/urls.sort1.awk.txt -i -d0 -c20 -v | grep -vE "200 [01]" I did only a change between first and second test: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf # Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default # Original config (1st Test) Mutex sem # (Config 2nd test) In the first siege test: Transactions: 32958 hits Availability: 99.43 % Elapsed time: 115.76 secs Data transferred: 14.80 MB Response time: 0.07 secs Transaction rate: 284.71 trans/sec Throughput: 0.13 MB/sec Concurrency: 19.42 Successful transactions: 32960 Failed transactions: 189 Longest transaction: 8.96 Shortest transaction: 0.00 In 115 seconds I had to stop because I got 115 PHP orphaned processes. In the second siege test: Transactions: 99533 hits Availability: 99.98 % Elapsed time: 292.05 secs Data transferred: 44.50 MB Response time: 0.05 secs Transaction rate: 340.81 trans/sec Throughput: 0.15 MB/sec Concurrency: 17.80 Successful transactions: 99533 Failed transactions: 21 Longest transaction: 29.04 Shortest transaction: 0.00 After 5 minutes and 0 zombies and 0 orphaned processes. As you can see it is slightly faster than the prior configuration. And 0.02% failure, which is 10x times less than before. I'm using Debian Jessie, kernel 4.4.4-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 #7 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: bugs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: bugs-h...@httpd.apache.org
