Synopsis: Upgrade to 1.2.0 from 1.1.1 does not work State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Thu Jun 19 22:36:27 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: This is almost certainly a problem with file descriptors; see the FAQ for workarounds. In your case, recompiling Apache (and possibly your BSDI kernel) with FD_SETSIZE increased should make you able to use more fds in select. If you have trouble, contact BSDI for how to increase the number of fds available to select(). You could, of course, cut down on the number of log files.
The change in behavior is not a bug in Apache, but simply a change. The old behavior is desirable, but isn't trivial to restore.
