[Mon Dec 14 18:12:26 1998] [emerg] (9)Bad file number: flock: LOCK_EX: Error getting accept lock. Exiting! Nothing had changed; no recompiles, installs, etc. I've rebooted, fsck'd, etc, but nothing helped. >How-To-Repeat: I don't see how you can. This worked great for months, then kaboom. >Fix: Lincoln Stein reports he's encountered the very same problem and that this has been reported several times in this DB. On his suggestion, I've made this change to include/ap_config.h and am trying it out now. Too soon to say whether this fixes it. /* flock is faster ... but hasn't been tested on 1.x systems */ /* bjc: #define USE_FLOCK_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT */ #define USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT >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.
