[Mageia-dev] Apache doesn't always like restarting....

Wed Mar 27 13:20:42 CET 2013

Hiya,
+
+Not sure if others ever get this but sometimes my apache really doesn't
+like being restarted.
+
+Looking at things when it's in this stuck state it appears to be waiting
+on a mutex:
+
+Process 24205 attached
+futex(0x7fde0090c640, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...>
+
+Eventually systemd gets tired waiting and kills it properly
++++ killed by SIGKILL +++
+
+which is nice from a  cleanliness perspective - I'm pretty sure that
+before either sysvinit would have just hung or returned from the stop
+job without killing things properly and then started apache again and
+gotten then "failed to bind to port 80" type error I'm sure I remember
+seeing.
+
+Anyway, don't think this is something we can easily fix just now and
+it's quite sporadic (doesn't always happen).
+
+One of these days I'll be able to attach to it properly and get a nice
+backtrace :)
+
+Cheers
+
+Col
