Every so often (most likely after a -HUP signal), the server seems to stop using the document roots specified within the <VirtualHost> blocks and start using the server's DocumentRoot instead.
i.e. We have a customer whose document root is /u3/s/o/someuser/public_html, but when we try to pull up their pages, Apache looks in /usr/local/www (the document root for the main server) instead: [Thu Oct 2 01:55:27 1997] access to /usr/local/www//spotr.gif failed for 207.171.199.71, reason: File does not exist [Thu Oct 2 01:55:27 1997] access to /usr/local/www//brwndog.gif failed for 207.171.199.71, reason: File does not exist This is most likely an error with the httpd.conf parser. Restarting the server seems to fix it. >How-To-Repeat: The problem is intermittent and difficult to reproduce. It seems to happen about once a week. Please provide input on how to further diagnose the problem when we catch the server in this state. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
