webperfcache_log running wild

[pedz]

Twice now my webperfcache_log has gone crazy and filled up about 76G of space. The first time, it took me a while to figure it out and when I did I just deleted the file without looking inside of it.

This time I'm saving a copy of it to another disk first and I'll look at after the copy but so far, there are just tons and tons of really stupid errors like "out of file descriptors" and "can not garbge collect". There does not seem to be any thing from the outside causing this. e.g. in the first 10,000 errors, this one:

can't accept(#3) connection: Too many open files

comes up 5970 times.

Anyone got a clue what to do about this long term? Anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks,
pedz

This has been happing to me for the last couple weeks as well.

I briefly looked into it and found just a couple things that may help you.

you can read about webperfcache here:
http://macos-x-server.com/wiki/index.php?title=Web_Performance_Cache

You can disable performance caching for a given site in the OS X Server Admin application. Once you've connected to your server with the Server Admin app, go to the "Web" section and then "Sites." Select your site and edit it. Under the "Options" tab uncheck "Performance Cache."

I mainly had trouble with a site that had Webdav enabled. I've disabled the performance caching on it and am waiting to see it makes a difference.
