Bug ID: 64452 Summary: modproxy.tmp Files filling up /tmp after upgrade to 2.4.43 Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.4.43 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: mod_proxy_http Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org Reporter: fries...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- After upgrading from Apache httpd 2.4.41 to 2.4.43 (RHEL 7, self compiled) we are encountering problems with /tmp partition filling up rapidly because of many "modproxy.tmp.*" files lingering. The problem is encountered using ProxyPass with http as proxy target and doing POST requests (payload size doesn't really matter, but it is really nice posting an ISO image for testing, filling up /tmp). We can not enable proxy-sendchunked because the application we are proxying to has problems with it as soon as we enable the flag. This was the recommendation of this article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3217891 Using systemd with PrivateTmp enabled the files are cleaned up on restart of the unit. If using "legacy" sysv init Scripts we need to stop httpd, clean up /tmp and start up again as httpd still holds a file handle open to every modproxy.tmp.* file. This leads to gigabytes of /tmp usage after some days.. My guess would be that this change is the source of the problem as it was the only related change in a while: https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/f7d35dc166732bff0e55d1509202d76d53f8c270#diff-037f73ad4a026d77ac9c31a007388308 -- 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
