.php-fcgi-starter errors

On one of my websites I am getting these errors fairly often, several a day. The site itself is pretty busy genrally.

From the front end there does not seem to be a problem but I find the abrt noticess when I login as root. CENTOS 7, PHP 7.4 (replaced the Centos version with one or another of the tutorials so the default version is 7.4), Perfect server setup, running since April 2021. Errors only occurred since moving this site to this server with migration tool.

[Tue Jan 17 13:37:57.255338 2023] [fcgid:error] [pid 27805] mod_fcgid: process /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web33/.php-fcgi-starter(19409) exit(communication error), get signal 11, possible coredump generated

Any ideas would help!
Thank you!

Have you really moved one website from server to server with ISPConfig Migration tool?

 

This is likly a memory issue, as signal 11 indicates a segmentation fault. As these errors are not constant but you get them often i assume that it is happening because a module that you use reaches it's max memory setting and fails or even the server itself reaches it's memroy limit. This could potentialy any PHP module for example.

 

Yes, I move sites any time I upgrade servers. It works perfectly in almost all cases although the LetsEncrypt SSL Certificates have been a hassle between old servers using certbot and new ones using .acme.sh. My servers are all CENTOS 7 Perfect Server setups which I think helps a lot on migration.

Hello Till,
A physical server. It has suffered a bit lately with high server loads in the miggle of the night and that may well be the issue. I had moved several larger sites to this one temporarily while upgrading another server. I will move it to the new server.
The reason I mentioned migration was another thread that mentioned PHP versions where someone had changed the default from 7.2 to 7.4 rather than adding it as an additional version and when they migrated a site they started getting these errors,
THANK YOU for your quick response. Over the years you all have proven your care and concern for those of us who use ispconfig.

Thank you Pyte. I think you are right on, this particular server was low end and needs either to be upgraded or memory added if we continue to load it as we are doing right now. My uptime logs show heavy loads in the early morning hours (here) during backups and maintenance. There are a couple of wordpress sites that get heavy login hits (IPs often from Germany!) during those same hours.
I appreciate your response,
Richard
