Hello everyone, I have been able to solve the problem. Up to now I have been using default values for threads for my server. It seemed that they were not enough.
We have not had a big increase in the hits to our site, so I think the problem started when we increased the connections to the DB per AOLServer process (from 4 to 20). What we have done now is to put minthreads in 5 and maxthreads in 20, and now everything works like a charm. No locked threads. Every thread servers the requests very fastly. If someone knows why did this problem happen or have a guess, it'd be nice to know it, just for future reference.
