[users@httpd] unknown requests from localhost/127.0.0.1
Just updated apache from 2.0.59 to 2.2.4. Server is running fine but
the log file shows hundreds of request like the following in the main
access log:
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Feb/2007:14:33:29 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 325
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Feb/2007:14:33:37 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 325
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Feb/2007:14:33:38 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 325
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Feb/2007:14:33:39 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 325
I cannot seem to figure out why the localhost is requesting itself?? I
have never seen this using 2.0, and have not had any luck finding out
why it is happening. I thought it might be tomcat/mod_jk, but I shut
tomcat down and the requests still continued.
Server 2.2.4
php 5.2.0
mod_jk 1.2.20
tomcat 5.5.20
configured:
"./configure" \
"--with-layout=BinaryDistribution" \
"--enable-modules=most" \
"--enable-mods-shared=max" \
"--disable-dbd" \
"--with-included-apr" \
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Look again at server-status. You'll notice that all those slots
filled with localhost requests don't actually have an active server
process in them. So they are just showing you the last request on
their old process, which was, of course, the wake-up request used to
get rid of them.

Sever settings are defaults, just as they were for 2.0. Perhaps they
have been too low all along. However in checking server-status, it
shows 32 out of the current 42 slots (Srv) filled by localhost requests.
Does this seem high to you?

Why would you want to? No harm, no foul.
But what you might be seeing is a symptom of misconfigured
process-control directives, leading apache to need to recycle
processes too frequently.
For example, make sure that there is a substantial distance between
MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers and that MaxRequestsPerChild is
not set too low.

Just looking at the log file it does seem like the requests happen every
1 to 5 seconds. I also have not been able to duplicate the problem on
our test server. Same setup, but only on a private network. Perhaps we
cannot hit it with enough connections?
I also logged user-agent:
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Feb/2007:15:24:23 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 325 "-"
"Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.2.0 mod_jk/1.2.20 (internal dummy
connection)"
This yields a little more to search on, but is there any way to limit
the number of times it tries to "ping" itself?
Thanks for all replies.

Where do you see anything about every second?
There will be about one for every child process during graceful restarts.

These are sent by the server itself to "wake up" child process for
graceful restarts and similar things. They can be safely ignored.
(If you were logging the user-agent, you would see a note about what
they are.)
