So far max uptime less that 24 hours.
The system : Cel 700/192 Mb RAM/192 Mb SWAP, one card, one camera.
RHL9 fresh install, no updates.
No other services (except sshd).
After 21 hours of uptime the SWAP was filled and the system stopped responding.
Saw it in the README but maybe the issue was solved ?
Thanks

Re: Memory leaks
Hi Igor,
As far as I know the issue isn't fixed yet but I'm not really sure whether it's a g++ thing or one of the system libraries. I don't think it's a ZM problem.
Can you tell me what the processes look like once the leaks start, perhaps capture the output from 'top'.
I have a RH9 being set up to test with, unfortunately I wiped it and so have had to reload it and try to remember how I got it working with the LML board in there. It should be up soon though and I can do some more probing.
Phil,

Re: Memory leaks
Thanks Igor, it obviously appears to be apache that is leaking memory.
Can you tell me what version of apache you have? There is a known leak in versions 2.0 to 2.0.44 which may have something to do with it. Can you tell me if you are accessing ZM with IE or some other browser. If it is IE I would be interested to know if you still get the leak with Netscape or Mozilla or another browser that handles streams natively.
The reason I ask is because the Apache leak is to with linefeeds sent in requests and as far as I know none are sent specifically by ZM but it's possible Cambozola terminates it's requests with linefeeds and that is what is causing the leak. It might not be that in which case I'll keep looking but it would be useful to know.
Phil,

Re: Memory leaks
[root@monitor root]# rpm -qa | grep httpd
httpd-2.0.40-21
httpd-manual-2.0.40-21
As I said above, the default install with no updates.
I use NS7, IE6 on WinXP and IE5 on Win2K. IE only for still images. Cambozola doesn't work, neither 0.22 nor the latest. Both leak memory and hang the system.
The above mentioned state was reached when noone was watching the feeds (in the night). So it's not the browser.
Tomorrow I'll reinstall the system onto a better machine and compile the latest stable Apache. And let you and the rest know.
Cheers

Re: Memory leaks
Hi,
I am using apache 2.047, now problems with this one.
do'n use 2.0 /2.044 these are known to have linefeed memory leaks.
Any attacker will be able to hang your server with a simple command.

Re: Memory leaks
MEMORY LEAK ON RH9 PROBLEM SOLVED
Upgrade RH9 httpd package to version 2.0.45.
RPMs and SRPMs available at rpmfind.net.
If building from SRPM, you will have to recompile some apache modules before installing. In my case it was:
mod_auth_mysql
mod_auth_pgsql
PHP
mod_python
mod_perl
mod_ssl
Now, mod_ssl comes with apache, so when installing do:
rpm -Uvh http*rpm mod_ssl*rpm --nodeps
Then proceed to rebuild the other modules, available from your RH9 CD or RH website.
For mod_perl use version 1.99_09-6.src.rpm from rpmfind.net. The mod_perl in RH9 CD doesn't play nice with Apache 2.0.45.
Any questrions? Feel free to ask... thats what we're here for.
ZoneMinder rocks!

Excellent, thanks for this Jose.
This will be the first entry in the new FAQ section going up later today!

Re: Memory leaks
Hi,
could someone describe how to update httpd on RH9 to 2.0.45.
I couldn't find any RPMs for that on rpmfind, I've removed all mods, php etc. RPM-s from my original RH9 installation in order to be able to rpm -e httpd. Now I need to know how to get the things back with 2.0.45.
Why 2.0.45? Why now the recent 2.0.48 ?
Rehards,
Darko

Re: Memory leaks
Does anyone know if the latest RH9 httpd patch version
httpd-2.0.40-21.9
is supposedly fixed or does it still contain this memory leak? I'm really dreading recompiling httpd and I can't find any later version RPM's for RH9.

Re: Memory leaks
The rpm I used (which is referred to in the other threads) is <a href="http://people.redhat.com/jorton/Shrike- ... m">here</a> but I don't know if it has been superseded by an official one yet.

Re: Memory leaks
Here's a link to some new updates I found (probably what Jose was referring to above):
HTTPD packages: http://www.btree.org/linux/packages/red ... -2.0.45-2/
Addt'l Apache modules: http://www.btree.org/linux/packages/red ... pd-2.0.45/
It will also be necessary to grab the Apache Runtime Library at:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/f ... 2.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/f ... 2.i386.rpm
I'm currently using this updated Apache 2.0.45 with Redhat 9 + Kernel 2.6.1 and ZM 1.17.2.
