The effect is perfectly reproducible, but only on those two systems. Even with the exact same apache and php configs I cannot reproduce the effect on a third computer, though. Unfortunately I cannot recreate the exact same set of packages there at the moment. Steps are as follows:
1. Change the comment sign to '#' in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/apc.ini 2. Do "/etc/init.d/apache2 reload" (not "restart") Then the file appears and the following lines show up in /var/log/apache2/error.log [Tue May 22 20:51:32 2012] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Tue May 22 20:51:32 2012] [error] (9)Bad file descriptor: apr_socket_accept: (client socket) [Tue May 22 20:51:32 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o configured -- resuming normal operations That is interesting. When I do a "restart" the strange file is not created and instead those lines show up there: Tue May 22 20:52:57 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/apc.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0 [Tue May 22 20:52:58 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o configured -- resuming normal operations The problem might have something to do with this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/174805 - at least it creates the same error message. The third computer where it doesn't happen also listens on ports 80 and 443, though. And I don't see any hung processes anywhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
