Hi, my environment is:
OS SuSE SLES11/SP2 64-bit HTTP frontend: Apache2-2.2.21 (64-bit) mod_jk: 1.2.37 Problem short: excessive connection timeouts with weird socket ids Problem long: we frontend 4 Tomcats (7.0.42) using Apache2(2.2.21) and mod_jk(1.2.37). We are seeing a heavy amount of connection timeouts when the tomcats are loaded. Surprisingly the logs show socket id "-1", which should not happen in my opinion, because most actions are guarded by the IS_VALID_SOCKET macro. Here is one example. The code emmitting the line should not be reached due to the check in line 1543: [Mon Jun 16 17:12:05.405 2014] [7233:140275337774848] [info] ajp_send_request::jk_ajp_common.c (1562): (lpsdm83-1) failed sending request, socket -1 prepost cping/cpong failure (errno=110) 1543: while (IS_VALID_SOCKET(ae->sd)) { int err = JK_FALSE; if (jk_is_socket_connected(ae->sd, l) == JK_FALSE) { ae->last_errno = errno; jk_log(l, JK_LOG_DEBUG, "(%s) failed sending request, " "socket %d is not connected any more (errno=%d)", ae->worker->name, ae->sd, ae->last_errno); ajp_abort_endpoint(ae, JK_FALSE, l); err = JK_TRUE; err_conn++; } if (ae->worker->prepost_timeout > 0 && !err) { /* handle cping/cpong if prepost_timeout is set * If the socket is disconnected no need to handle * the cping/cpong */ if (ajp_handle_cping_cpong(ae, ae->worker->prepost_timeout, l) == JK_FALSE) { 1562: jk_log(l, JK_LOG_INFO, "(%s) failed sending request, " "socket %d prepost cping/cpong failure (errno=%d)", ae->worker->name, ae->sd, ae->last_errno); /* XXX: Is there any reason to try other * connections to the node if one of them fails * the cping/cpong heartbeat? * Tomcat can be either too busy or simply dead, so * there is a chance that all other connections would * fail as well. */ err = JK_TRUE; err_cping++; } } So, before trying to tell me that I am missing workers.properties and complete logs, I want to check first whether the "-1" socket ids are to be expected here or whether there is some kind of bug involved.
