strace log of running process as it receives HUP signals. none

Description Oliver Jones 2004-09-13 23:38:25 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3

Description of problem:
With PHP installed Apache crashes when given HUP or USR1 signals.  It
usually doesn't crash on the 1st signal given but on the 2nd or 3rd.  

So every few days the httpd process dies due to receving a HUP signal
from logrotate.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
php-4.1.2-2.1.8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date php
2. service httpd restart
3. kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
4. sleep 2
5. kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
4. sleep 2
5. kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`

   

Actual Results:  httpd dies with a SEGV.

Expected Results:  That the process continues to run without fault.

Additional info:

I notice some other bugs have been posted in relation to PHP and
Apache crashing on similar problems.  Eg, bug #104419, bug #129567. 
These bugs may all be related in some way.

Created attachment 103808 [details]
strace log of running process as it receives HUP signals.

This is a strace log of the parent httpd process as it receives multiple HUP
signals.
Comment 2 Joe Orton 2004-09-14 08:24:49 UTC 
Thanks for the report.  Can you also try and get a core dump and a
backtrace?  (add "CoreDumpDirectory /tmp" to httpd.conf, and start the
server with "ulimit -c unlimited; apachectl start")

mod_perl was implicated by the backtrace from #129567.
