Re: [Mod-fcgid-users] Fwd: mod_fcgid with php CGI hangs on interrupted downloads

2011-02-22 Thread Liam O'Boyle
Hi Josiah,

There was a strace snippet in the linked serverfault page, as follows

root@some-machine:~# strace -p 24837
Process 24837 attached - interrupt to quit
write(3, 
\5|A\313%\35\337\376\275\237\230\266\242\371\37YjzD\322\215\357\336:M\362P\335\242\214\341...,
17432

Just hanging on that, or something like it, each time.  I assume this
is blocking trying to write back to the fcgid handler.

Thanks,
Liam

 the php-cgi process might lead to you figuring out the true issue, though.

 Morning,

 I still haven't had any luck addressing this problem; I'm posting this
 in the hope that someone has some sort of idea, otherwise I will have
 to scrap mod_fcgid and revert to mod_php this evening, as this is
 causing considerable problems for our users.

 Thanks for any assistance,

 Subject: mod_fcgid with php CGI hangs on interrupted downloads
 To: mod-fcgid-users@lists.sourceforge.net


 Hi there,

 I'm having an issue with downloads through PHP when using mod_fcgid;
 if the download is interrupted before it's complete, the php-cgi
 process seems to block until the execution timeout is reached, rather
 than aborting immediately.  Further requests to the server by the
 same user that interrupted the download hang until the process aborts
 and the php-cgi process starts serving more requests, but requests by
 other users do not appear to be affected.

 It doesn't appear to be a PHP problem, as the same code, when run
 using mod_php, executes correctly.

 Does anyone have any suggestions that I could look into to fix this?

 A full explanation is up on ServerFault -

 Thanks for any help,

 Liam

Liam,

Someone else commented that you should increase the value of your 
IPCCommTimeout setting; I'd recommend this as well, though I have to ask, as 
these uploads taking multiple minutes to complete or do they hang fairly 
quickly?
