strange apache just started dieing this morning when it'as rebooted..

[WebHostPro]

Also ssl stopped working.

I tried to re-compile apache but that fails as well.

The only way to get it up up is to run the zend optimizer installer. But even after that if i restart it apache crashes again untill I re-installed zend.

Confounded

I'm assuming that you've got good reason to associate the issue with Zend, so I'd suggest your first check would be to ensure you're not running IonCube loader too.

• Does apache restart with httpd startssl?
• What's the output from apachectl configtest?
• Anything in the log files?
• Any effect by disabling Zend?

Thanks for the help!

--Does apache restart with httpd startssl? I can't really tell but the mesaages log says this on the reboot:

Dec 26 17:10:24 dwhs4 httpd: /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd start: httpd could not be started
Dec 26 17:10:24 dwhs4 httpd: /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd: line 202: 9444 File size limit exceeded$HTTPD -DSSL
Dec 26 17:10:24 dwhs4 rc: Starting httpd: failed

And the ssl log only says this over and over:

[26/Dec/2006 19:08:39 18406] [info] Server: Apache/1.3.37, Interface: mod_ssl/2.8.28, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.7a
[26/Dec/2006 19:08:39 18406] [info] Init: 1st startup round (still not detached)
[26/Dec/2006 19:08:39 18406] [info] Init: Initializing OpenSSL library

--What's the output from apachectl configtest? Syntax OK

[*]Anything in the log files? Amazingly no, even when apache crashes it doesn't list anything other then:

[Tue Dec 26 19:09:16 2006] [notice] Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 PHP-CGI/0.1b configured -- resuming normal operations

[Tue Dec 26 19:09:16 2006] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem)



Any effect by disabling Zend? i remove all references to zend in the php.ini file and restarted apache and it still failed. Also the php.ini file does not have any references to ioncube.

I keep thinking that once i do a reboot the php.ini file gets reverted back to another copy somehow. or maybe this is a bad module.

It's strange since I didn't change anything, it just happened out of the blue.

Ah - seems to make sense now...

Dec 26 17:10:24 dwhs4 httpd: /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd: line 202: 9444 File size limit exceeded$HTTPD -DSSL

This suggests that your log file is too big. Check /usr/local/apache/logs/ for any huge files ~2GB.

That would kinda explain why Apache seems to work for a short while before dying

Shoot, your a god. it was a domlog ssl file that was over 2 gigs.

Merry Xmas!

File size limit exceeded(core dumped) $HTTPD -DSSL

1.Check log file size { /usr/local/apache/logs }

2. #cd /usr/local/apache/logs

3. # > {max size filename}-----> eg: error_log

4.enter.
5.restart apache.
