Hi,

Please guide me how to create Dump File for Apache Crash in Windows.
We are using Apache for Reverse Proxy with OpenAM Module for Sign-in.

Apache Version : 2.4.9.0

We are very frequently facing Apache Crash Issue.

Also in logs we do not get much information.
when submitted logs to ForgeRock, they asked us to look into below error and provide Crash Dump.

[Sun Jun 15 23:00:10.153908 2014] [mpm_winnt:warn] [pid 2376:tid 424] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

I see in your log: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed

When you have hangs, slow traffic and/or when having in your log entries like Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. You can try the following settings:

AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
EnableSendfile off
EnableMMAP off

Thanks Steffen for the update.
Can you please guide me how to generate crash dump for Apache in Windows environment.

I have updated the httpd.conf with this entry but
CoreDumpDirectory c:/Apache24/logs

But no dumps were created when Apache got crashed.


below is the entry from error.log

[Fri Jun 20 11:22:11.020006 2014] [mpm_winnt:warn] [pid 5900:tid 7776] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

We are using Apache in our PROD environment.
What will be the effect of above changes, also just need to put the above as it is in the httpd.conf file or need to update more.

As far as I know Apache doesn't do that on Windows (if some one knows better, please correct me).
That is why I gave you the link to the debugging page with Getting a live backtrace on Windows.

Effect is:
Solves issues on windows like hangs, slow traffic and/or when having in your log entries like Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. Just put it only in your httpd.conf.

Anything in the Windows event log ?

Btw. I think it is the best to discuss with ForgeRock, how to get a crash dump they want.

Here's what we suggest at IBM for preparing for a crash (= making sure you get a dump) on Windows: May take some tweaking and cross-checking with other articles, I recall it is not yet 100%.

Can you please check with ForgeRock about how to get the crash dump for Apache in Windows.

PFA… vendor’s reply…



It contains a link for crash dump on windows application in general:
Please follow this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb787181(v=vs.85).aspx
DumpType should be set to 2. We do need this dump files as there isn't significant information in the other logs.



But still we are not getting the necessary dumps.
