Apache does not recover from SIGUSR1

jsparks · May 30, 2018

Hi folks,

I've been using php-fpm / apach2.4 / engintron (nginx reverse proxy) for quite some time now and noticed every few days apache dies and does not recover until I manually intervene and restart the process.

The server has has no resource limitation issues that I am aware of, and from what I can tell, everything is configured as it should.

I see in the apache error.log the following:

[Wed May 30 13:13:45.018854 2018] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 30722:tid 140261823477888] AH00297: SIGUSR1 received. Doing graceful restart

followed by many:

I checked the php-fpm logs in both /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/var/log/php-fpm/ & /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/var/log/php-fpm/ and seen no errors or warnings.. What else could be controlling this process?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jsparks

Does the issue persist when using only Apache? Can you run the following on the server and post the output:

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release

Code:

cat /usr/local/cpanel/version

Code:

sar -q

Code:

sar -p

Code:

grep -i "Out of Memory" /var/log/messages

Thanks!

I never actually configured this server to run apache only, it's always been apache/php-fpm/nginx, but I can try re-configuring it if you think it's worth testing.

Please see output:

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

cat /usr/local/cpanel/version
11.70.0.46

Code:

sar -q

I'm tracing the OOM issue but don't think it's related as the timestamps don't match.

cPanelLauren · May 31, 2018

Hi @jsparks

You are correct that the timestamps don't match and it's MySQL being killed so they may not be directly related but was I am gathering from this output is you do have what appears to be consistently medium/high load on the server as well as some IO wait spikes. Are you on a VPS or standard environment?

I'd also like to know what's in the logs between/before/after these warnings:

Thanks!

Hi Lauren,

This is a dedicated machine which is running very low load (typically). What you are seeing in the sar output is likely a result of the cpbackup that started May 30 early in the AM, which I believe is what caused SQL to run OOM. I don't think this issue that I'm seeing with Apache is directly correlated with cpbackup, as it did happen a few times outside of backup windows.
