apache2ctl-t-V-M.txt
Hi,
I have been struggling for quite some time now on a dedicated dev server with
Apache "sometimes" crashing
when the Apache service is started for the first time after a server boot, or
when the Apache service is restarted.
It became claear after a while that it crashes at least once out of +- 25 times
when I restart the Apache service (see below for the test script).
Apache recovers from it somehow. I "think" that an MPM worker child process
crashes, and that main Apache process then starts another one, which always
starts correctly.
Now is a good time to report it because I would like to upgrade some production
servers from Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS trusty to Ubuntu Artful V17.10 in a few months
time.
* Environment:
- O.S.: Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty (Desktop edition)
- Ubuntu Package: apache2-bin:amd64/zesty
2.4.27-5.1+ubuntu17.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
* Notes:
- The Apache dbg packages have been installed. `apt --yes install apache2-dbg
libapr1-dbg libaprutil1-dbg gdb`
- This is a stable bare-metal server that is online 24x7 with no other
problems.
- I have removed the modules mod_security2 and mod_spamhaus, but it did not
help.
- No Apache sites are currently enabled, but it did not help.
- I tried to reproduce it in a VM with a fresh install of Ubuntu Zesty and
Apache 2.4.27 but then the crash never happens.
* Reproducible test script
#Bash
#@doc The server will crash at least once every +-10 minutes when this script
is running.
while true
do
systemctl stop apache2; systemctl start apache2; journalctl --lines=50
--unit=apache2; sleep 10;
done
* The crash details in the syslog varies as follows: "error 4 in apache2" or
"error 14 in libdl-2.24.so".
