Error description
Performing graceful reboots of Apache's web server processes causes plugin's 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable to increase in size substantially.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Repeated graceful reboots of Apache's * * server processes overflow the plugin's * * LD_LIBRARY_PATH, causing the web server * * to crash. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Plugin seems to pre-append content to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` every time there is a graceful reboot resulting in a substantial growth for the variable. Frequent graceful reboots of Apache's web server processes leads to the overflow of plugin's `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable, subsequently resulting in the crash of the web server.
Problem conclusion
The plugin has been updated to do additional verification to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` before making any updates to the variable. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.26 & 9.0.5.21 .
