Hi guys, My server has been crashing almost on a daily basis. What happens is the server ram gets used up and it becomes unresponsive. When I'm in SSH I can't even do anything as the site has no ram what so ever and my machine is a really nice one 4 gigs i5 processor. I have hundreds and hundreds of the following in my /var/log/httpd ::1 - - [03/May/2012:06:16:02 -0700] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" Code (markup): I've also noticed in my error_log [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15144 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15145 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15146 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15147 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15149 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15150 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15152 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15153 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15154 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15155 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15156 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15159 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15160 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15161 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15165 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15166 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15167 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15168 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15169 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15170 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15171 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15172 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15173 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15175 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15176 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15178 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15181 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15182 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15184 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15188 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15189 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15192 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15193 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15194 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15195 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15196 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15197 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15198 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15199 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15200 exit, attempting to continue anyway [Wed May 02 12:02:40 2012] [error] could not make child process 15201 exit, attempting to continue anyway Code (markup): I've seen several article on the connection dummy issue but I've patched and nothing is working. Godaddy is not providing any support and so far I cannot manage to keep my sever up and it's starting to become a huge pain for me and my websites. http://vdachev.net/2007/02/01/apache-internal-dummy-connection/ http://thelinuxguru.blogspot.ca/2008/03/apache-internal-dummy-connection.html http://notepad.patheticcockroach.com/2068/dealing-with-apache-internal-dummy-connection/ Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
