Hi mod_perl folks, I'm getting occasional hanging httpd children (prefork) that suck up alot of CPU and bog down my server. When I inspect Apache Status (ExtendedStatus On), I see something like this:
434-3 11031 0/29/612 R 0.49 1341 0 0.0 0.20 4.09 ? ? ..reading.. There's no client IP, no virtual host, and no URI, just "..reading.." Since these hung procs don't die off by themselves, I'm thinking of setting up Apache::Watchdog. But, before I resort to this, I'd like to do some more investigation to see if I can't find and fix the source of the problem. Unfortunately this is a production server so I can't do anything too intrusive. Any suggestions for where to look or other ways to debug/diagnose this problem? FYI I'm using httpd-2.0.54, mp2.0.0-RC4, libapreq2-2.04_03-dev. thanks, JB
