ID: 54015 Comment by: nergalic at ya dot ru Reported by: linux at spilgames dot com Summary: PHP processes remaining active while they should not Status: Open Type: Bug Package: FPM related Operating System: CentOS 5.5 PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Have the same problem on 5.3.6 and 5.3.5 on CentOS 5.5 (php works as FastCGI on nginx). It seems that in one moment php is unable to update process status, so new childs processes continue to fork, but other old childs are not dying. pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 400 pm.start_servers = 15 pm.min_spare_servers = 10 pm.max_spare_servers = 25 pm.max_requests = 2500 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-14 15:59:58] linux at spilgames dot com Description: ------------ PHP processes are still active even though they are freed up. As soon as a php-fpm reload is performed, the number of php processes drops. So seems that php is not updating the status of the processes. extract of the conf file: pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 120 pm.start_servers = 20 pm.min_spare_servers = 10 pm.max_spare_servers = 20 pm.max_requests = 1000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54015&edit=1
