Unexplained unresponsiveness of Apache httpd

Hello,



I am currently dealing with a situation where the Apache httpd process
becomes unresponsive for some time. At the end of this time, the Apache
error log shows:



[Mon Nov 2 13:27:49 2009] [warn] child process 7310 did not exit,
sending another SIGHUP
[Mon Nov 2 13:27:49 2009] [warn] child process 27558 did not exit,
sending another SIGHUP
[Mon Nov 2 13:27:49 2009] [warn] child process 751 did not exit, sending
another SIGHUP

. . .

[Mon Nov 2 13:27:50 2009] [warn] child process 7164 still did not exit,
sending a SIGTERM

[Mon Nov 2 13:27:50 2009] [warn] child process 13494 still did not
exit, sending a SIGTERM

[Mon Nov 2 13:27:54 2009] [error] child process 26222 still did not
exit, sending a SIGKILL

[Mon Nov 2 13:27:54 2009] [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to
restart



After this restart, the process resumes normal operation.



I would appreciate any assistance in debugging this problem.



Thanks,

Regards,

Raj Iyer

Child process not responding to singals indicates a very very serious
system-level issue.

$ uname -a ?

Try ktrace/strace the child PID as well

It is not very clear if the messages above happen before, or after you
have sent a "restart" command to your server.
Can you give a bit more details about what you are doing exactly, step
by step, and what you mean by being "unresponsive" ?

Also, some additional information about the Apache version, the platform
on which is running, etc.. would probably not be superfluous.
