Apache takes 100% of CPU

[PatRoy]

Hi.

I've installed hpuxwsAPACHE A.2.0.58.01 on a dev server without any problems!

I did the exact same install on a production server, and for some reasons, just doing a 'apachectl -t' take 100% of 1 cpu! It hangs there.

I've checked in /opt/hpws/apache/logs/ and I have nothing!

System is HPUX 11.11, 2 CPUs, 4973556KB of memory.

Any guides? Thanks!

Shalom,

1) Check http://software.hp.com for a patch. You will not find a patch for this on itrc because its not an OS, its an application.

2) Check http://www.apache.org for bugs.

This appears to be a bug.

Check that the OS itself is up to date. Problems with kernel parameters, nproc, nfile and such can also cause apache weirdness, but if it were an OS problem other applications would also misbehave.

It would be good to know what Apache might happen to be doing. The system call trace tool tusc might help with that.

I needed to patch the server with the following:

PHSS_33944 / HP aC++ -AA runtime libraries (aCC A.03.71)

That resolved it all. Thanks all!
