Subject: [PHP] apache + mod_php question
Hello,
I have searched the archives and not been able to find the
solution to
the following problem. I would be very grateful if someone
here could help or provide some pointers.
The basic problem is this:
Our apache server will not start if there are system
processes running that were spawned from apache's last
invocation (ie. spawned from cgi's, mod_php system() calls,
etc.). It dies with cannot bind to ip_address_here port 80, etc.
Example:
We restart our servers every so often via crontab in order to
reload modified conf files, etc. However it appears that if
a user has spawned a process from mod_php, cgi, etc. that the
server will not restart until those processes are killed off
manually.
The worst cases are when badly wrote user scripts allow an
attacker to upload scripts that bind to a port and attempt to
make network access, etc. (I would love to disallow users
from having uploads to the server but
that is not currently an option).
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to automagically kill
these processes?
Does anyone have their own favorite recipe for
stopping/starting apache in an automated fashion.
Right now these situations result in downtime for users and a
pager in the middle of the night to me! I would very much
like to stop this :)
Thanks much!
