Apache crash during high load in Ensim Pro Control Panel

Apache crash on high load with the following error in the error log: “(28) No space left on device: mod_python: Failed to create global mutex 1 of 4 exclog: signal received 15″

The problem may be caused by small number of semaphores in system.

Resolution is to increase number of semaphores.

To increase the number of semaphores please take the following steps, Login to your PPCPL server as root. Open the /etc/sysctl.conf file using a text editor

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

Locate the kernel.sem parameter and double current values

If the parameter is not defined in the /etc/sysctl.conf file you can obtain current values by executing the following command:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem

After obtaining current values, double them and add to the /etc/sysctl.conf file so that the line looks like.

kernel.sem = 512 32000 100 512

Execute sysctl in order the changes to take effect

sysctl –p
