Description

Version: lighttpd/1.4.30

After lighttpd went down several times. I attached gdb to it.

This is what I got:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

The only thing which I access with this is static files from munin.

The backtrace looks like it has something todo with mod_compress. I will deactivate that mod in the hope it runs more stable.

  1. why do you compress png files?
  2. could it be you replace the png files regularly? and that it crashes when a file got replaced?

1. Good question. I tested now if it makes sense to compress png. Result: No, it only saves less than 0.2% of traffic.
2. Yes, munin replaces the png files every 5 minutes. Maybe lighttpd compressed the png while it was rewritten. That could be the reason.

So I know now that compressing PNG is stupid and you know that a possible reason for crash could be a file change while compressing.

while we really should fix the crash, you really need to update files atomically, i.e. create new tmp file in same directory, then move into place; otherwise the http client might see a (truncated) mix between old and new versions.
