I thought I would share a solution to a little problem we've been having
of late. We run apache 1.3.6 with jserv1.0b5 and Sun JDK 1.1.7_08 on
Solaris 2.5.1, and we have been having a bizarre problem. Periodically,
when the load on the server was high, the java executable would suddenly
bloat to around 600M resident and stop responding. Pagers would go off,
users would scream... you get the idea.
After hours of toying, we discovered the problem. The jserv logging was
apparently running so fast, it was overflowing its buffer. This (we
believe) caused it to log an error, which overflowed the buffer, and
logged an error... etc.
So should you encounter this problem (although we only noticed it when the
server was being hit _hard_), try setting 'log: false' in your
jserv.properties. You never know: it might work =)
I'll pass this along to jserv development people, so it might be fixed in
a future release.
Cheers,
James
