virtual memory usage grows and grows.
Hi,
I'm using 1.3.22 with mod_perl. I have a perl script which is used to
record site hits and is executed about 150 per/sec using mod_perl. My
problem is that all the httpd processes' virtual memory usage grows and
grows non stop, bit by bit until all the virtual memory is gone and the
system crashes. Could this be something to do with mod_perl?
Any help would be much appreciated.

It could. Perl uses a Garbage Collector. If you assign variables in
mod_perl scripts you have to take care of 'circular references'.
That means you have two datastructures pointing to each other.
This way you trick the garbage collector which is then unable
to free memory.
just an idea.

Apache-tomcat integration problems
Posted by amol <am...@yahoo.com>.
i have successfully installed tomcat and apache.
both of them run independently.
now, i am trying to connect them.
i did all that was mentioned in the install.txt that comes with the
webapp-module for tomcat4
mainly under apache, added following lines in httpd.config
"LoadModule webapp_module modules/mod_webapp.so"
and "AddModule mod_webapp.c"
then, i restarted tomcat. it works ( made it work on port 8080 )
then, tried to restart apache.
but it fails to start.
in error.log, i get the following message :
[crit] (2)No such file or directory: make_sock: failed to get a socket for
port 80
on the prompt, it says
"[warn] pid file c:/apache/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean
shutdown of previous Apache run?
Apache/1.3.22 (Win32) running..."
when i try to 'stop' it, it gives "[emerg] (2)The system cannot find the
file specified: OpenEvent on ap606_shutdown event"
any guidance??
if i revert the changes made to httpd.config apache starts properly again.
i am on NT4 with tomcat-4.0.1 and apache 1.3.22. Tomcat has been installed
as a service
thnx
amol

It's a dual 1ghz + 1gig ram running fbsd 4.3-stable. Any ideas on the
virtual memory increase problem?

150 hits per second is quite a load. What are your system specs?
I recently rebuilt my server because I thought a cracker had
corrupted my system keeping it from accessing the net properly.
Turned out that I was just being flooded for requests for a
2.6MB file (almost 2GB of traffic in just under 4 hours) and my
server just couldn't handle the traffic. Needed to up the
MaxRequests & what not if it was to handle it at all.
