[users@httpd] weird httpd processes

hi all...

for the last 4 - 5 days i noticed something weird on one of the freebsd
boxes here. one httpd process -or sometimes 2 or 3 - take up all the cpu.
and it looks like this:

# top
CPU states: 33.1% user,  0.0% nice, 66.5% system,  0.4% interrupt,  0.0% idle
Mem: 476M Active, 295M Inact, 162M Wired, 61M Cache, 112M Buf, 7556K Free
Swap: 2032M Total, 4K Used, 2032M Free

  PID USERNAME      PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
85655 nobody         64   0 20632K 14880K RUN    126:03 97.07% 97.07% httpd

# ps -auwx|grep httpd
.....................................

nobody    1376  0.0  0.0     0    0  ??  Z     6:46AM   0:00.00  (httpd)

this last process is unexisting. to make it disappear i have to stop the
server and then killall -9 httpd it...

after i do that it's ok until i get the same. the time varies...
here for example from bsdsar from today:

#bsdsar -s

...........

this si the first time it appeared today. it says it started at 1:35pm but
that's not possible since it appears for the first at 10:00 am...

i was trying to figure out if it's a connection being opened from the same
client machine all the time but i can not tell from netstat which
connection corresponds to this process...

i can't find anything unusual in the logs...

Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)
FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE

can somebody please help explain what and why is this happening...

thanks a lot...

Well, it looks like a script at http://guey.el.net/ is causing your
problems.  If you need more info than that, you can attach to that
process with a debugger and get a backtrace to see exactly what it is
up to.

hi all...

i started this a few weeks ago.. the situation hasn't been improving...
i'm getting really frustrated. i've looked for scripts but i can not find
anything wrong. besides there are about 150 domains on that machine and i
can't go through each php or pearl file....

i woke up today to about 20 or so stalled processes - the most ever. i do
have server-status on but that just points to the machine name...  what to
do? i can't shut down domains until i figured where the hell is the
offending script....

right now i have one process running wild but top and server-status report
differnte cpu usage for those processes. here:

from top:

55 processes:  2 running, 53 sleeping

apache writes to the logs only after the script or data has been

Re: Re: [users@httpd] weird httpd processes

Posted by Systems administrator <sy...@gvi.com.br>.
If I understood what you said, you are able to get the client's IP 
address by using another resource, like netstat -a and you see the 
connection is in CLOSE_WAIT state for ever. CLOSE_WAIT takes 12 hours to 
timeout. It is a long while, but it happens. Maybe you could check 
something in your kernel configuration and put this value a little lower.

Seeya,

Miguel.

Re: [users@httpd] weird httpd processes

Posted by kalin mintchev <ka...@el.net>.

 i found a client connected to the process but could not find the client's
ip number in any of the logs of the server. so i assume its some remote
application that is hitting directly the offending script. but how do i
get to that?!? like somebody mentioned it's probably not written in the
logs until the file is served and the process finished but if the process
never finishes (CLOSE_WAIT) there is no trace in the log....

here is what's right now...

# top

#

there are about maybe 150 domains under /html....  so now what?

i guess i'd have to go through each and every one of them?!? - i know the
20 min time window when the process gets wild but i don't have much
else...

i'm going to turn the mod_status on - like suggested here - to see what it
will come up with but i'm not holding my breath....


thanks....

Do you have mod_status on? Perhaps the status pages can show you something
useful....

could this be a log size problem too?
one of the virtual server has almost a gig of access log - i'm going to

right now i have another instance of httpd going wild - started sometime

Re: [users@httpd] weird httpd processes

Hi,

This looks like a script that is running out of control.  We've had similar 
things here, except that our problem was the script writer failed to close 
the mysql connections.  The user was waiting for data which never came, hit 
cancel, then tried again.  The scripts used pconnect calls.  This brought a 
30,000 Euro server to its knees several times by eating all the available 
sockets, at least until we found out what the problem was.

In your case, set the max execution time for scripts to something short like 
10 seconds.  Consider also disabling ini_set because we also had problems 
with users playing with our settings and stressing our server.  Be sure that 
all uri includes are disabled too (XSS attack problems).

To find the exact script is difficult.  Something to note is your CPU usage 
has 65% system.  Look for scripts that were uploaded around the times your 
server started having problems, then try to run them is one possibility to 
find out what's happening.  Look in the databases for connections that are 
open and idle.  Also, if your server comes down off its high load, look in 
the apache log files to see which scripts just completed.  Unfortunately 
apache writes to the logs only after the script or data has been 
(un)successfully sent.  

Markus

ok. yes. the machine has been running fine for months. how would i know
which is the offending script?!?  it serves a lot of websites that use
different scripts - perl,php,etc...
