Topic: Latest Apache 2.2.11 Memory Leakage

[markymark]

I've been using and upgrading through the versions of Apache from Apachelounge for the past 3 years, running through FCGI with no problems at all.

I've just upgraded from 2.2.8 to 2.2.11, and now the memory usage of the httpd.exe process increases continually, and within 1-2 days has reached 1.5GB, at which point it refuses to serve any more requests.

Restarting the Apache service fixes this until it happens again.

Any ideas if there's any issues with this latest release?

Thanks

just curious if you updated mod_fcgid as well?
At 2.2.9 the APR changed and required a change to mod_fcgid.
If you haven't, try using mod_fcgid 2.2b from the download page.

[markymark]

Yes, I updated mod_fcgid as recommended at the same time.

I've had to switch back to 2.2.8 for the time being, where the memory usage sits happily at around 60mb.

All conf files etc are the same.
PHP version I've kept at 5.1.6.6, so that's not changed.

My site makes heavy use of curl, so I don't know if the problem lies there?

Thanks

Well .. I notice my Apache was eating 165MB and grows a few 100k per each and every request so I assume something is happening. no curl and VC6 build here.

I guess scheduling a graceful restart every couple hours may be appropriate

[markymark]

Maybe, but I'd rather not do that, especially as 2.2.8 works so well.

I suppose I'll have to hang on till the next version and see if the problem has gone away.
