Hi.

I had this problem myself - and I have found that there is a potential
memory leak in the JK connector code (in the mod and the Java
implementation?).  My solution was to remove Apache and go solo with Tomcat
5.0.25 (will keep upgrading though).

My problem has gone away!  Tomcat stays up serving requests beautifully with
NO memory problems whatsoever!

I will be posting a better summary of my problem, the tests I ran, and the
eventual solution.

Regards,

Carl

Subject: Tomcat 4.1.24 stops responding due to attack


Hi,
I am facing following problem :

Problem : After working properly for a day or 2, I cannot access my website.
Only way to restart is kill the process and again run "startup.sh". I 
cannot stop normally
using "shutdown.sh"

Configuration : Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike), Tomcat 4.1.24, Postgres
7.3.4

Points Checked -
1. The tomcat is not down, I can see process by "ps -ef"
2. However, as a result of "netstat -tcp" I am getting some unknown users 
accessing my "mysqld".
Under normal working conditions I can recognise the IP address and accessed 
processes listed under "netstat -tcp"
Actually I am not using "mysql" at all.
No other application on server is using mysqld.
3. The default Apache 80 port can be accessed normally(Tomcat is running on 
8080).
4. I have changed the port to 8081, but problem persists.

Is it that someone is making lot of fake connections to slow down my 
tomcat, or am I infected by virus?

Any hint or pointer will be appreciated.
Regards,
Kedar
