Hi Guys,

I am stuck at an unusual issue.

Basically, this is the situation.

I am working for a hosting company.

We have a server management portal. The portal was coded many years back for php 4. When PHP 4 reached EOL, we checked whether it could be run in PHP 5 and we found that it could run in PHP 5. So it has been running fine in PHP 5 for past couple of months

In last week, we migrated this portal to a new server with SSD(solid state) hard disk.

Since the migration, PHP in this server management portal is taking too much time to complete execution.

I verified following.

1. it is not server load or short of any resources
2. it is not mysql which is creating bottleneck.
3. it is not apache version or php version or php modules or mysql version.
4. all other websites in the same server is working fine.
5. server management portal is working in our test environments with same softwares.

Now, I am going to upgrade kernel to see whether it is affecting.

I am not getting any clue about what could be any done further.

Could anyone provide any inputs or clues about what could be done to find out what is happening.

Wheather Php is executing as DSO or cgi ?

Delay getting first byte of site ?

Delay in executing full page ?

Did you checked verified process blocking using vmstat command?

Thanks

Hi vishesh,

Thanks for looking into this.

>> Did you checked verified process blocking using vmstat command?

I shall check this.

Apart from that,

This is a cpanel server. I tried running PHP as both DSO and suPHP. It is currently running as suPHP. Changing to DSO didn't improve performance.

I managed to catch a PHP process in strace.

This is what I see. I will see that process is stuck with "read(5," for some time. After that, the process will run & I could see page loading in browser.

=========================
root@myserver[~/sherin]# strace -p $(lsof | grep user_name | egrep -v "mysql|log" | grep serverportal | awk '{print $2}')

Process 26398 attached - interrupt to quit

lstat("/home", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0711, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat("/home/user_name", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0711, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

lstat("/home/user_name/public_html/serverportal", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat("/home/user_name/public_html/serverportal/serverlist.php", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=83269, ...}) = 0
open("/home/user_name/public_html/serverportal/serverlist.php", O_RDONLY) = 5

=========================

Any ideas about why the process spends time on "read(5," ?

Hi Vishesh,

There is no "Processes waiting for CPU" or no “blocked” processes.

===============================

However, I still see the same thing, the PHP process is waiting for a read to complete.

I could see following when PHP is waiting for completing execution.

=============
root@myserver [~]# strace -p $(lsof | grep user_name | egrep -v "mysql|log" | grep serverportal | awk '{print $2}')

Process 3581 attached - interrupt to quit
read(5,
==============

Then all of a sudden, it completes the process in a fraction of a second and I could see the page in browser.

At that time, I could see that the process is completed as below.

Thanks,
Sherin

It seems that Apache MPM is taking time . Is there worker MPM in place . Also if you could share strace output by using option -c

Thanks

...additionally attach your strace right after you restarted the web server and not haphazardly during thread execution, use "-f -ff -v" as well and up the size of the printable string size with "-s". Also see Xdebug (KCacheGrind, FirePHP, XHProf, PHPeclipse, etc) wrt debugging / profiling?

Hi Guys,

I couldn't look into it in the past week.

>>It seems that Apache MPM is taking time . Is there worker MPM in place . Also if you could share strace output by using option -c

I agree with this. It may be Apache MPM that is taking time.

>> Is there worker MPM in plave

No, pefork MPM is used

@unSpawn
If I am wrong, please excuse me.

Currently, apache is spawning a new PHP process to execute PHP script. So, I could catch a PHP process during run time only.

FYI,
server is using suPHP.

I tried using "-f -ff -v", but the the PHP process still waits at "read"

>> Also see Xdebug (KCacheGrind, FirePHP, XHProf, PHPeclipse, etc) wrt debugging / profiling?

I tried this earlier, but it didn't help with any useful info.

The issue I now experience is at the "read" thing. After that PHP starts executing all of a sudden.

Hi Guys,

Could anyone help with any suggestions, directions or insights into what might be happening ?

Any help is much appreciated.

Hello ,

If MPM is the case then I think server-status using mod_status worth to see. What I can understand that page php page processing taking time putting prefork in waiting state.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

This is what I see until page is displayed browser.

Does this mean that HTTPD is taking time to read requests & send reply ?

Hi Guys,

>> What I can understand that page php page processing taking time putting prefork in waiting state.

Do you think that issue is with PHP script as this is not happening for other websites hosted in server ?

If the issue is with PHP script, I am puzzled about the fact that this script is working fine other servers ?

So could this be related to server hardware anyway ?
