Re: [rt-users] reall odd apache2 crashes with blank pages

2008-10-08 Thread Gabriel Cadieux
after disabling SSL and downgrading DBD::mysql to 4.00.5 (from the buggy 
4.00.7), i am happy to announce that there have been no segfaults on our RT 
server since last friday. i beleive each of these options must have been 
partially responsible for the problem... i will wait approx. another week and 
then consider this issue resolved due to the changes applied. i will let you 
all know how it turns out.

 it seems i was too quick to assume that my disabling apache's SSL 
 functionality worked to counter this issue;

 the server just now crapped out AGAIN with the same symptoms: i clicked a 
 link this morning after having a firefox window open on RT all night, and was 
 once again greeted with a white page and a nice segfault on my tailf 
 console... ;/ it also crashed several more times afterwards, every single 
 time i did an F5 to try and refresh.

 i have just downgraded to DBD::mysql 4.00.5 (from 4.00.7), and will report 
 once more in the next few days on the issue.

 good luck to all affected by this ubiquitous issue.


disable ssl  slow down the segfault. our rt system runs for 3 days. it
segfault almost every day before.
but the problem is still there. i now again wondering about mod_perl..

I think it's just a bug in DBD:mysql, I had the same issue and it's a 
well documented problem. I can't see why SSL would have any effect, it's 
just a protocol not a driver.

2008-10-08 Thread Gabriel Cadieux
yes, i understand that, but you have to take into consideration the fact that 
someone also mentioned disabling SSL altogether slowed their segfaults, and 
this is exactly what happened when i tried it as well. before i disabled SSL, i 
was getting several crashes per day, around 8 or so... constantly. this 
continued for almost a week. after disabling it, it went steady for a couple 
days between each segfault, for about another week, until everything finally 
turned out fine (so far anyways) when i downgraded DBD::mysql.. i haven't seen 
a segfault in logs since last friday.

logic forces me to conclude the problem was not necessarely caused, but most 
likely exacerbated by the SSL functionality being turned on.

 * Disabled TAKE_IMP_DATA_VERSION because segfault with DBI  1.607
 
 which is the case in Debian lenny, DBI = 1.605
 

4.008 doesn't fix the blank page/segfault bug, I can now reproduce the

2008-10-08 Thread Gabriel Cadieux
ahh, i get you.

indeed, the SSL functionality should work flawlessly now, but we weren't 
actually *using* it per se, it was just turned on by default. our RT 
implementation is internal only, and the mysql database is runs on the same 
host as apache, so there's really no need for it.

i thought i had good news to share; i came in this morning and RT didn't greet 
me with a white page upon clicking a link or refreshing, but then i still 
noticed a single segfault entry at 5pm yesterday night (this is even before i 
left the office apparently, i simply hand't noticed) it seems like the 
DBD::mysql downgrade didn't change much. :(

to those who also still have not fixed this: has anyone else gotten any further

up to now to resolve the issue.

Re: [rt-users] reall odd apache2 crashes with blank pages

2008-10-02 Thread Gabriel Cadieux
the reason i notice the segfaults is because i have been tailf-ing 
/var/log/apache2/error_log 24/7 for over a week, so yes.
 
:P
 
could someone please point me in the right direction regarding obtaining a 
valid core dump from the segfault and performing a gdb backtrace on it to 
identify the source of the crashes? i'm mildly retarded when it comes to 
debugging/coding under linux.
 
thanks.

 i was told it is probably being caused by a bug in the version of DBD::mysql 
 that we have currently installed (mine is 4.00.7, which is the one described 
 in the link below as having this issue).

 i am still trying to figure out if other stuff is causing it, but on monday i 
 will downgrade to 4.00.5
 (gentoo has no ebuild for 4.00.6 for some reason) if the issue is still 
 occuring and let everyone know
 if this fixes the problem.

 link: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=36810

 (thanks to David Chandek-Stark for this information).

thanks for the information.
our new rt 3.8.1 system is suffered for this problem. i was wondering
if mod_perl cause the problem.
hope we will hear the good news from you.

 thanks for the information.
 our new rt 3.8.1 system is suffered for this problem. i was wondering

 hope we will hear the good news from you.


I'm not sure it's related, I had the mysql morning bug on 2 new RT
installations (Debian lenny, 64bit). I fixed it by upgrading DBD::mysql
to 4.008.

I think this changelog fixes my problem (segfault of mason in apache log
(fastcgi), Internal Server error):

* Disabled TAKE_IMP_DATA_VERSION because segfault with DBI  1.607

which is the case in Debian lenny, DBI = 1.605

Re: [rt-users] reall odd apache2 crashes with blank pages

2008-09-29 Thread Gabriel Cadieux
i have just reviewed the weekend logs for our RT server on apache and have yet 
to see any more segfaults; this being without downgrading/upgrading 
DBD::mysql... (i am still at 4.00.7)... i did, however, before leaving on 
friday, disable the -D SSL flag in my /etc/conf.d/apache2 file, making apache 
start up without SSL support (we don't need it running on the server as it 
won't be using https).. i don't know if this had anything to do with it, but i 
will certainly keep monitoring this issue closely and let everyone know if 
anything ever happens again, in which case i will try to switch DBD::mysql 
versions and confirm the fix.

thanks to all who participated in the issue so far, as i am sure this affects a 
lot of people.

I have the issue when using Apache on CentOS 5.2

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# uname -a
Linux rt 2.6.18-ovz028stab039.1-smp #1 SMP Tue Jul 24 12:12:48 MSD  
2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3
mod_perl-2.0.2-6.3.el5

DBI is up to date (1.607).
DBD::mysql is up to date (4.008).

I have worked around it for now by serving the pages with lighttpd  
with FastCGI.

[rt-users] reall odd apache2 crashes with blank pages

2008-09-26 Thread Gabriel Cadieux
hi list,

is anyone familiar with odd behaviour of RT (i'm using rt3.6.7/apache2)
where there are several lines in a row in the apache error log stating
segmentation faults and the browser displaying a blank page upon browser
refresh or action (such as clicking on a link)?

also, when i view source on the blank pages, the code seems to be there!
at first i thought this was a browser problem, but then i started to notice
the crashing in the error log and saw a bunch of similar (but quite unrelated)
problems on google searching, which obviously have nothing to do with RT at 
all..
most proposed solutions don't apply to me, so i'm stumped..

it seems to happen when i leave the office overnight and come back in the
morning (or simply away from my desk for a while), which makes no sense to
me because there is no activity on this server while i'm not there (it's on
my desk; i'm the only one working on setting it up atm).. i'm 99.%
sure it's not caused by hardware problems (ram, etc..) because i thoroughly
tested the memory/cpu using memtest86 on the gentoo install cd first,
and also ran a full battery of tests on the hard drives and RAID controller
card before installing... and the rest of the box runs tip-top, as far as i
can tell, there is no reason for apache's children procs to be crashing, so
i'm forced to assume something is awry with my RT config, or maybe my apache
build?

i'm using gentoo with a light (1.5mb) 2.6.26-r1 customized kernel which has
everything compiled in for the box (no modules), since the hardware on this
server will never be upgraded/changed. as stated before, everything else
works great. is there any way for me to find out exactly which system call
is causing these segfaults? i'm not too bright when it comes to debugging
or coding, so i'm trying to seek help here before trying to dive into tracing
stuff w/ gdb etc...

:(

i really hope someone can help...

thanks!

(P.S. thanks to everyone on this list for being so nice and helpful so far!
i hope i can return the favor in the future when my install is up and groovy :)

Sounds like what would happen with Scalar::util from rpm on redhat 
systems.  Never used gentoo so I don't know how it's package management 
works, but you could try re-installing Scalar:util from CPAN.

Re: [rt-users] reall odd apache2 crashes with blank pages

2008-09-26 Thread Todd A. Green
I am having a similar issue with 3.8.1 under Apache 2.2.9, Perl 5.10.0, 
mod_perl 2.0.4, PHP 5.2.6, mySQL 5.0.45.

I verified I am using the newest Scalar::Util module (1.19) as well.

The biggest issue it is causing is when it happens while rt-mailgate is 
attempting to delivery emails and they get stuck in the mail queue.
