RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
When a cgi script takes so long time to provide a response, mod_cgid takes CGIDScriptTimeout x 2 seconds for timeout.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.4.6-90.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum -y install httpd-2.4.6-90.el7.x86_64
2. Edit /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf to enable the event mpm module only.
3. Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add:
------------------------------------
CGIDScriptTimeout 10
KeepAlive On
KeepAliveTimeout 2
ExtendedStatus on
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
</Location>
------------------------------------
4. systemctl start httpd
5. Create a cgi script and chmod+x it in /var/www/cgi-bin/test.py and chmod +x it.
------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import time
import sys
print "Content-Type: text/html" # HTML is following
print # blank line, end of headers
time.sleep(31)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(65)
------------------------------------
6. Fetch the page with curl:
time curl -kv http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.py
7. After 10 seconds (CGIDScriptTimeout), an error occurs in /var/log/apache/error_log
