Fix the error message child pid XXX exit signal Segmentation fault (11) of Aapache in FreeBSD/openSUSE  

Recently, I always receive an error message from the httpd-error.log file of my own apache server, this problem has crashed httpd service for three weeks and i don't know how to fix it no matter how i hard to search information in google or yahoo search engine, during this period I was persecuted with this problem.
However, i found the solution to fix this problem and finally this error message will not appear again.
When you check the httpd-error.log file, if you also see the following message in the bottom, please follow my steps below to fix it.

  • 1. Modify the following file that relate to tuning high performance.

FreeBSD:
# vi /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-mpm.conf
openSUSE:
# vi /etc/apache2/server-tuning.conf

  • 2. Change the contains for the same values as below.

    MaxSpareThreads    512
    MaxClients        512

  • 3. Restart apache service then the error message disappear...


FreeBSD:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart
openSUSE:
# service httpd restart
