Hello,

I see this notice in /var/log/apache2/error.log and I can't figure out what the problem is.

AH00052: child pid [PID HERE] exit signal Aborted (6)

The notice appears at random intervals. For example:

Code: Select all

Running a Google Search on this Forum, returned 0 results, which is quite strange. Am I the only one with this problem?
Running a general Google Search, some results indicate mod_ruid2 as the source of the problem. Is this so?

It's worth noting that even with this error in the logs, vhosts (different web sites) seem to be doing fine.

Anyone else facing this problem? Any suggestions?

After a month of researching, I think that PHP7 is not very well compatible with mod_ruid2.
Not on every server... I feel we hit a bug only on servers with lot of domains and lot of traffic.
mod_ruid2 works fine with PHP 5.6... but obviously there is some glitch with PHP7 in combination with lot of domains and lot of traffic.

I couldn't find a solution - the only solution is to switch everything to PHP-FPM (see viewtopic.php?f=41&t=17129 ) - remove completely PHP from Apache - remove mod_ruid2 from Apache - and finaly - switch Apache to mod_event :

Code: Select all

a2dismod ruid2
a2dismod suexec
a2dismod php5.6
a2dismod php7.0
a2dismod php7.1
a2dismod php7.2
a2dismod php7.4
a2dismod mpm_prefork
a2enmod mpm_event

find /home/*/web/*/public_html/ -type f -name ".htaccess" -exec sed -i 's|php_value|# php_value|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_html/ -type f -name ".htaccess" -exec sed -i 's|php_admin_value|# php_admin_value|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_html/ -type f -name ".htaccess" -exec sed -i 's|php_flag|# php_flag|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_html/ -type f -name ".user.ini" -exec sed -i 's|auto_prepend_file|# auto_prepend_file|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_shtml/ -type f -name ".htaccess" -exec sed -i 's|php_value|# php_value|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_shtml/ -type f -name ".htaccess" -exec sed -i 's|php_admin_value|# php_admin_value|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_shtml/ -type f -name ".htaccess" -exec sed -i 's|php_flag|# php_flag|g' {} \;
find /home/*/web/*/public_shtml/ -type f -name ".user.ini" -exec sed -i 's|auto_prepend_file|# auto_prepend_file|g' {} \;
find /home/*/conf/web/ -type f \( -name "apache2.*" -or -name "sapache2.*" -or -name "*.apache2.conf" -or -name "*.apache2.ssl.conf" \) -exec sed -i 's|php_|# php_|g' {} \;

service apache2 restart

You must switch EVERY domain to PHP-FPM template.

There is no negative impact in server perfomance (tested on pretty loaded server with 300 domains)... in fact... everything is just more stable...
There are no more segfaults and "exit signal Aborted" in Apache.
