I've seen similar threads but not a resolution, so I'll raise this issue again.
I'm moving our web server and web apps to a new machine, a dual Xeon Redhat 8 box. Tomcat 5.0.16 and Tomcat 4.1.29 both handle loads well when using the Tomcat HTTP server. But I need to connect Tomcat to an Apache front-end, currently 2.0.28. When I use either mod_jk or mod_jk2, the JVM crashes after 1970-1980 requests with Signal 11 and this in logs/catalina.out: JVMDG217: Dump Handler is Processing a Signal - Please Wait. JVMDG303: JVM Requesting Java core file JVMDG304: Java core file written to /ucar/dpc/aegean/www/web/www.dlese.org/tomcat/javacore.20040113.142044.6635.txt JVMDG215: Dump Handler has Processed Exception Signal 11. and this exception in the java core: 2XMEXCPINFO JVM Exception 0x2 (subcode 0x0) occurred in thread "TP-Processor9" (TID:0x10174AB8) I've seen suggested avenues like: # kernel rebuilds (some 2.4.18-2.4.2? kernels had bad thread handling) # switching JVMs, e.g., Sun, IBM, BEA JRockit # cleaning out the work directory, # using or not using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL, # disabling hyperthreading, # disabling SMP, # adjusting heap and stack sizes # rebuilding the mod_jk or mod_jk2 connectores. # expanding user ulimits That makes for a huge matrix of possibilities. Any hints on which paths might be more fruitful, or others to consider. Are more data needed to help isolate this problem?
