From: Jeffrey William Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: os-linux/2723: HTTPD dies complaining "error getting accept lock" Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 19:10:45 -0500 Hi Lars, Sorry it took me a few days to fool with this. To answer the original questions: I am not using any NFS, nor mandatory kernel file locking. I have experienced this problem with gcc, egcs/glibc1, and pgcc/glibc[12], all on Linux 2.0.34. I am also finding this problem with Apache 1.3.1 and 1.3.0, with mod_perl verisions 1.12, 1.14, and 1.15 I tried to reproduce the problem using CGI instead of mod_perl, and I could not. When the server dies under mod_perl, it is answering over 100 requests per second. Under CGI, I simply cannot reproduce that connection rate, and it loafs along at ~4 requests per second. This may indicate that it is a mod_perl problem. The problem also seems to crop up when I issue 'apachectl stop'. Witness this entry in my error_log, when I started the httpd, then stopped it b/c I stuffed up my code. The only intervening step was a mod_perl program which returned 500.

If I come up with anything I'll get it to you. Thanks, Jeffrey
