Hi,
Apache 2.4 VC11 x64 on Win2012
I'm using apache as proxy to glassfish with simple ProxyPass.
All was OK, but recently I'm seeing an issue where apache simply stops responding. There is no error in the log files, even if I turn debug level. Process is still alive, but apache doesn't respond to requests (as it would simply "hang"). If I restart it it works for some time, then again this issue. What could cause this issue?
If I was under some Slowloris attack or if some other issue would case that connections can not be accepted any more or threads would be exhausted, wouldn't this be logged into apache log?
Has anybody ever encountered similar issue?
Thanks for help! |

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 |

Will try these, however I'm not seeing any "Asynchronous AcceptEx failed".
So is this "normal" for apache to hang that often and not log any issue before it hangs? |

Hi,
Yesterday, before I applied those settings I also rebooted the server (just to make sure). After the reboot, Apache (with added settings) is rock solid. Not sure if reboot or settings helped, but I'm not in the mood to test the possible "instability" by removing the AcceptFilter lines right now, but I might try it later to see if this was really the issue.
Thanks for tips! |
