Description of problem: I am able to reliably reproduce an Apache hang (clients connect and wait forever for response) using these prefork mpm settings and kernel 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5. Booting off an earlier kernel (kernel-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5) allows this to work as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RH 5.8 kernel-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 httpd-2.2.3-63.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: httpd.conf <IfModule prefork.c> StartServers 1024 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 20 ServerLimit 1024 MaxClients 1024 MaxRequestsPerChild 4000 </IfModule> apachectl restart while [ 1 == 1 ]; do curl -s http://localhost -o /dev/null; done Actual results: After several minutes, apache stops responding to requests. (Unresponsive state occurs naturally after about 10 minutes, but above curl loop speeds up the process to just a few) Expected results: requests are served quickly Additional info:
