Good evening,
The httpd root process has been dieing seemingly at random on the different app0* servers. We're not sure what it is, but there's a chance that it could be the fedmsg-emit.php plugin. Here's a proposed patch that's been sitting in staging for about a week:
The theory is that, before, if "fedmsg-config" failed (which it shouldn't), then the script would call die(). die() shouldn't terminate the root httpd process, but.. well.. we're not sure what else could be happening.
The change goes: instead of calling die(), if the plugin can't setup its fedmsg socket, then it just won't register its callbacks with mediawiki, instead of calling die();
I've tested that this is sane in staging, but there's no way to test that it fixes the issue, since it happens randomishly.
This doesn't require a new fedmsg rpm. The fedmsg-emit.php plugin is kept in puppet.
Seeking +1s for freeze break.
Cheers!

+1 here. I hope this fixes this crash, and it's worth a try to rule out anyhow. ;)
