Topic: Apache24 websites down after minutes. Need help

[pivey]

Hi,

i am on W2008 R2 SP1 dedicated server, newly switched from apache.org to apachelounge, installing following:

php-5.3.13-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip
Apache_httpd-2.4.2-win64.zip
Apache_mod_fcgid-2.3.7-win64.zip
Apache_mod_log_rotate-1.00a-win64.zip

While i had no issues with Apache 2.2, but with this new installs i am running into trouble that php websites are down after some minutes. Plain html web sites are running smooth, so Apache service seems to work properly.

I realize a lot of php-cgi processes running & increasing while putting Apache24 online.

No significant changes to php.ini (C:Windows/php.ini) made.. minimal extensions enabled.
Only additional modules installed are logrotate & xcache.dll
On httpd.config gzip compression enabled.

That's all on customs

Any idea to help me out?
Can i provide any information which will help you to help me?

Just a stab in the dark, but I have heard my others on here recommend using the Thread Safe version (TS) of PHP instead of the Non-Thread Safe (NTS) version of PHP.

I use the Thread Safe (TS) version of PHP on my site and have never had an issue with PHP sites being offline.

Hi,

I would try, but i used the NTS version like it was recommended here.. since it has some advantages.
Additionally, exact same constellation is running on other server just fine.

On that one i have trouble now, i am pulling my hair to find what causes the issue

Ok, just had a look again at apache24 error logs.
Could find these:
[mpm_winnt:warn] [pid 4040:tid 1148] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

And, there are 2 httpd services running simultaneously.. same related to same c:/apache24/httpd.exe

Maybe related to this:?

Is related to that. There's a few threads here on the subject. in httpd.conf add somewhere in the global context:

AcceptFilter http none

Yep, that was it

But how about having 2 httpd processes running simultaneously?.. never noticed that before.
is that ok?

[glsmith]

yep, the parent and the child
