If I watch the uptime on the server, it starts to climb higher and higher (if I do not kill httpd the machine will eventually lock solid). It does not spawn more then 100 servers, and usually sits between 92 and 96. The server gets a lot of traffic, usually around 100,000 unique hits day. The only optional module I have complied in is the rewrite module (which I need) and the status module. I watched a TOP session and noticed that the initial httpd will get up to 99% server utilization. >How-To-Repeat: Becuase of the severity, I changed back to my 1.1.3 version. >Fix: Nop >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
