apache hanging up

    I'm running apache /2.2.3 (centos) on a pretty busy for a forum (vbulletin) and it seems to get hung up once in a while.

    I'm have extended status on so I can take a look at the server status and today I found once it was hung up:
    3 requests currently being processed and 13 idle workers

    when I looked at the status listing I found about 300 of these: www.mysite.com OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0

    but no ip address just ::1 on the line

    any ideas as to what's going on?

    thanks in advance.


    here are some basics:

    ServerTokens OS
    ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
    PidFile run/httpd.pid
    Timeout 600
    KeepAlive On
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 50
    KeepAliveTimeout 2


    ProxyRequests Off


    StartServers 200
    MinSpareServers 10
    ServerLimit 1000
    MaxClients 300
    MaxRequestsPerChild 500




    <IfModule prefork.c>
    #StartServers 8
    StartServers 200
    MinSpareServers 10
    ServerLimit 1000
    MaxClients 300
    MaxRequestsPerChild 500
    </IfModule>




    <IfModule worker.c>
    StartServers 200
    MaxClients 1000
    MinSpareServers 10
    MinSpareThreads 10
    MaxSpareThreads 200
    ThreadsPerChild 100
    MaxRequestsPerChild 0
    </IfModule>

    Hello there,

    You are going to have to look at the logs to find out what is causing the issue. It may be MySQL and not the web server itself.

    Regards,
    Chris

    In my opinion, the prefork setting are incorrect. The configuration should be the following:

    StartServers 5
    <IfModule prefork.c>
    MinSpareServers 5
    MaxSpareServers 10
    </IfModule>
    ServerLimit 256
    MaxClients 256
    MaxRequestsPerChild 10000
    KeepAlive Off
    KeepAliveTimeout 5
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

    yes the prefork settings are way overkill

    And you need to drop the worker config. you need to use one or the other
