[users@httpd] warn/error: child process does not exist

[Harshal Dedhia <ha...@skybird-travel.com>]

Hi,
I am running apache 2.0.47 and this was my configure commmand

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2       --enable-so
--enable-mods-shared=all --with-mpm=worker

Before upgrading to apache 2.0.47 I was running the redhat 7.3 apache 1.3.xx rpm.

The   box  is  running redhat 7.3 with a custom kernel (2.4.20). It is
a 2P/2Ghz box with 2 Gb RAM. So it has plenty of resources.

After    I   upgraded,   apache   keeps crashing on me every so often.
When it does, I have to manually restart it. The error_log shows the following:

[Tue Jul 29 10:06:48 2003] [warn] child process 2747 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Tue Jul 29 10:06:48 2003] [warn] child process 2748 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Tue Jul 29 10:06:49 2003] [warn] child process 2747 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Tue Jul 29 10:06:49 2003] [warn] child process 2748 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Tue Jul 29 10:06:54 2003] [error] child process 2747 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL
[Tue Jul 29 10:06:54 2003] [error] child process 2748 still did not exit, sending a SIGKILL
[Tue Jul 29 10:07:10 2003] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

I currently have 3 virutal hosts with the following config:

<VirtualHost VHOST_1>
ServerName  www.VHOST_1.com
ServerAdmin ADMIN_EMAIL
DocumentRoot PATH_TO_DOC_ROOT
ErrorLog PATH_TO_ERROR_LOG
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "PATH_TO_CGI-BIN"
</VirtualHost>

I have the following settings in httpd.conf for the worker mpm

<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers 2
MaxClients 150
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>

As  far  as  startup  is  concerned,  I  have  places apachectl in the
/etc/init.d directory and have a sym link to it placed in /etc/rc3.d

I  am  completely  lost  as  to  why this problem is happening. I have
looked   at the archives and many others seem to have this problem. Is
it  a bug? Or is it related to the worker mpm settings. Please help. I
am  unable  to  migrate  my  other  virtual hosts from 1.3.xx unless I
resolve  this issue. I am newbie as far as apache is concerned, so any
help  would  be  appreciated. If you need any more information, please
let me know.

Thanks,
HD
