From: Dean Gaudet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Lars Eilebrecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Andreas Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: FW: Re: general/1540: Apache stops to respond on virtual interfa Date: Fri, 12 Dec 1997 10:52:50 -0800 (PST) Is NFS involved in any way? If yes, then try using the LockFile directive like "LockFile /var/tmp/htlock" to move it away from NFS. Does the /server-status page show there are idle children? If not, what are they doing? If they're stuck in DNS lookup then either disable HostnameLookups, or turn off the solaris name caching daemon... whose name escapes me at the moment. Are you using multiple Listen statements? Can you reproduce this on a server which is running on a different port, and using the -X option? This will cause it to run only a single child. If you can't reproduce it with -X then try setting MaxSpareServers to 2, MinSpareServers to 1, and see if you can reproduce it that way. Keep trying to increase MaxSpare until you can reproduce it. Once you've got it to reproduce like this, use truss to find out what system call each child is doing. If they're all idle, then all but one of them should be in fcntl(), the rest should be in select(). Dean
