HP Apache error on HPUX

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs;

We are seeing following error in the error log of HP Apache on HPUX 11.00:

[notice] child pid 1161 exit signal
Abort( 6 )

Can someone suggest what could be the root cause ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi Shiv,

sigabort is called by the process itself.
You can say it's an "emergency exit".
Normally it's used, if the programmer don't know how to handle a special condition.
You have to look for other errors (syslog) or any other apachelogs, that can explain what has happened before the child exits.
Maybe the cause is that the child couldn't allocate memory or fork or ....

Hi Shiv,

Please take a look at in httpd.log and syslog.log to see what happened at that time.
