Package: Apache
Version: 1.3.31-7
Apache now seems to be (intermittently) unable to spawn a cgi process, which it had no trouble doing in earlier versions.
Recently we upgraded a server that handles one pretty active web site, as well as our nagios monitoring -- from Apache 1.3.27 to 1.3.31. Since that time, nagios and the active HTML/PHP web site (no cgi scripts) have continued to work correctly, but hitting the nagios web site and executing a cgi script has intermittently resulted in an Internal Server Error (The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request). The error logs for the nagios web service show errors such as:
[Tue Nov 23 10:58:26 2004] [error] [client a.b.c.d] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios//status.cgi [Tue Nov 23 11:16:08 2004] [error] [client a.b.c.e] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios//extinfo.cgi
The server shows only 271 processes, 212 of which are apache jobs (and apache httpd.conf MaxClients is 400, even were that to affect cgis).
Only Apache and php4 were upgraded (including the auxiliary php4 packages). Nagios/netsaint doesn't use php4 so that shouldn't have an effect ("shouldn't", of course, is a technical term that often means "does, for reasons bug-submitting dweebs don't understand"). The nagios software was not changed, and it doesn't look like (another famous technical term) apache even gets far enough to start execution of the script itself. 

Thanks for your help,

Ken Menken

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/282659 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
