Description

i started noticing sometimes dashboard was unavailable.

investigation reveals the troubling fact that my httpd gets continuously restarted (NOT by monit!).
here is the /var/log/httpd/error_log.

i tried to stop avahi-daemon ... thinking this would be at issue, but it still happens:

[Wed Mar 03 02:10:02 2010] [notice] SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using ::1 for ServerName

i did update my system recently. still investigating as to why it's getting a HUP!!

History

#1 Updated by cpg almost 11 years ago

Status changed from New to Assigned
Assignee set to gboudreau

this is due to this:

exec("/sbin/service httpd reload");

in apps-proxy app cronjob.

how about we add/find a hook or some API for an app to restart only on new app installs or uninstalls?

#2 Updated by gboudreau almost 11 years ago

I can easily check if new apps were installed, or uninstalled, and only execute my cron then.
Will do that now.

This should be moved to 'apps' (is now 'platform').

#3 Updated by gboudreau almost 11 years ago

Status changed from Assigned to Resolved
% Done changed from 0 to 100

Fixed.
(Re-install to get the fix.)

I now md5 the names of all the installed web-apps I find, and save the result in /var/hda/web-apps/apps-proxy/installed_apps.md5
If this didn't change since last I ran, I just exit. Otherwise, I work and reload httpd.

A hook on app install/uninstall would be 'faster', but this works for now.

Please close when you've validated my fix.

Cheers.
