Hi,
Not sure if I'm still a newbie since I've been using Virtualmin for almost a year...but there always something to learn :)
I've googled and searched about this topic and the resulting answer was always "Don't worry about it". If it wasn't an issue, then the server wouldn't be "worried" about it.
Here is the error that fills the logs every minute;
[Wed Sep 26 07:36:23 2012] [warn] (103)Software caused connection abort: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request function
Is there any way to fix this error, as in, did I mis-configure something, am I missing a php module, etc?
Here are some details;
I tried using mod_php but found some functions didn't work, and wasn't the safest option. I did not try CGI wrapper
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thank You,
Michael
Howdy,

Well, your server isn't worried about it, it's just telling you what's going on :-)
What you're seeing there is a normal message.
An example of what causes that is if a user pressed the "Stop" button while the page is loading.
That could also occur if a bot begins loading your site, and leaves before it's finished.
I would recommend using CGI or FCGID like you're doing... the message you're seeing is not a sign that anything is wrong, and there's nothing you should be doing differently :-)

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response.
Your answer is what I came across most times, but I just wanted to be sure there wasn't anything really wrong.
I will try cgi and see how it goes.
Thank Again,
Michael
Eric (or anyone else that would like to help) :)
Sorry to jump back on this, and I know you said nothing is wrong, and I can see nothing wrong with the setup or the site, but in a few days I have 73,000 lines of errors of the same code.
Fortunately there are no other errors to report, but 73,000 lines of an error that is not an error seem out of place. It occurs every second. I don't have any crons or tasks that run every second.
Any other possible ideas that I should be looking for....or is it a "quark" of Virtualmin.
Thanks
What you're seeing isn't a Virtualmin message, it's a message from the Apache FCGID module.
Did you ever try the CGI mode? CGI doesn't send notices to the logs when a user or bot disconnects during the page load process.
However, if you get one of those notices every second, chances are that means some sort of bot is hitting your site frequently. You could always spend some time trying to figure out if it's all coming from the same IP address, how the browser identifies itself, and maybe look into what country the IP address is from.
It's possible you could just ban a couple of IP's to make those notices go away.
