From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Logrotate crashes httpd by sending SIGHUP (normaly should do reconfiguration). Some extracts from the log - self explanatory: # tail -1 /var/log/httpd/error_log.1 [Sun Sep 28 04:02:15 2003] [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart # tail -1 /var/log/httpd/error_log [Sun Sep 28 04:02:17 2003] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process #fgrep 04:02 /var/log/cron Sep 29 04:02:00 dev CROND[6697]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.daily) Of course cron.daily has logrotate, and logrotate has http in logrotate.d and it sends SIGHUP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.0.40-11.7 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just wait several days till logrotate will cras it. :-) 2. 3. Actual Results: Happens periodically approx. once a month Expected Results: It should just continue working :-) Additional info: Apache is running with SSL and php.
Please re-open if this is reproducible against a supported release; there have been various fixes in RHEL and Fedora Core httpd packages for issues which could have caused crashes in the parent.
