Dell PowerEdge2300 5Gb HD, 512Mb RAM. >Description: Apache is being used with Cold Fusion to server a high traffic commerce site. This site easily saturates a T1 line with traffic. We started using apache over Netscape Enterprise 3.5.1 for performance reasons. I originally configed apache with MaxRequestsPerChild set to 300000. Apache hung when it hit about 30000. I set MaxRequestsPerChild to 0 and the apache worked fine for about a day and a half. It never totaly hung but most people got a 'server too busy' response. Stop and start the apache process and everything was fine.
I saw a bugreport about the MaxRequestsPerChild. I only mentioned it becuase the server hang for the MaxRequestsPerChild is exactly the same as the hang over extended use. >How-To-Repeat: set MaxRequestsPerChild to anything but 0 or Use the site under heavy traffic with cold fusion for a while. >Fix: No >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.
