Date: Wed, 4 Mar 1998 16:10:13 -0500 (EST) I belive I may have been able to fix this. I am still watching, but it is run okay for the last 2 hours. I did two things, I removed the mod_status module from the configuration. This slowed down the crash. I also had the ReWrite commands in a .htaccess file in the root directory of one of my virtual hosted sites. As soon as I removed it, everything calmed back down and went smoothly. I believe it may have been due to the fact that they site is very "deep" ie it as several subdirectories, and the ReWrite engine was trying to cover them all. Since I only need it to cover my images directory, I was able to put a .htaccess in it and the server runs fine (and correctly) now.
