Httpd – Apache: graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL. How much is too much

apache-2.2httpdloggingmod-fcgidprocess

On Apache/2.2.15, is it normal to have one or two "[warn] mod_fcgid: process XXXXX graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL" per day? After all it's a warning, not an error.

Thanks

Other people have reported a similar issue with FCGID processes hanging and being unkillable in other systems, such as Wordpress and Sympa.

A suggested fix was to add the option

FcgidMaxRequestLen 1000000000

to the Apache configuration (default for this setting is 131072). I have not been able to verify this fixes the issue but there is anecdotal evidence to indicate that it does.

From Apache 2.2.15 Changelog there is memory leaks fix in 2.2.15 but if you top output is after apache start it's really huge from my point of view.
Did you try a worker config ?
Could you add the output of ldd tool on you httpd binary ?

Php – Apache is sending php files to the browser instead of parsing

add the lines belove to your httpd.conf or apache2.conf

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
</IfModule>

& remove the addhandler line AddHandler php5-script php

then restart apache.

apache will understand php engine will be used for .php extensions by this line application/"x-httpd-php"
