hello.
we are running an application on tomcat and experiencing intermittent
periods where the application is non-responsive and thus non-functional.
the general set up is apache and tomcat, with mod_proxy_ajp as the
connector (specific details and configs below).
during these events, the primary apache error log shows the following:
1. (104)Connection reset by peer: ajp_ilink_receive() can't receive header
2. (70007)The timeout specified has expired: ajp_ilink_receive() can't
receive header
it looks like error #1 repeats for a while and then error #2 repeats for a
while.
at the same time in the application specific apache error log (as specified
in the vhost set up for app) we see the following errors repeated (though
in mixed order from below):
3. [error] ajp_read_header: ajp_ilink_receive failed
4. [error] (120006)APR does not understand this error code: proxy: read
response failed from (null) (localhost)
5. [error] (120006)APR does not understand this error code: proxy: read
response failed from 127.0.0.1:8009 (localhost)
6. [error] [client X.X.X.X] proxy: error processing end
and occasionally:
7. [error] proxy: read zero bytes, expecting 464 bytes
the catalina.out log registers nothing during the time period the
application is unresponsive.
a couple of other things to note:
- these events are coming under light to no load as far as i can tell.
- these events last from about 5 to 30 minutes and then everything works
again as expected with no manual intervention.
- the time of day of for the events is not consistent.
- these events initially occured rarely, but over the last month have
ramped up to daily.
any suggestions on how to fix or further troubleshoot this problem? and
thanks in advance for the help.
