I have a server that the /server-status page displays info, but its incorrect. It shows 200Processes when there are 3X that. And most of the domains show up as (Unavailable). Any Ideas?

I need this to see what is causing an httpd process to run away, which vhost/directory/cgi, right now I have no idea how to find that out besides with this.


Thanks in advance.

Probably your best bet is to ask the Apache users mailing list:

http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html

Ok will do. In the meantime I modified a script to kill any httpds over X amount of memory and threw it in crontab.

Thanks

Do you mean "(unavailable)" is showing up in the VHost column? I think that just means that a virtual host wasn't being accessed, but the main server name/IP was.

I have no idea about why it wouldn't show all of the processes, although I haven't played around with it much. Maybe mod_status has a limit on how many children it can show. Or maybe you compiled in a limit?

Let us know what you find out.
