Hi Greg, According to your logs, each of the responses are 206 (Partial Content) codes, which means the client requested only a range of the resource, not the entire resource (see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.2.7 for details).
It is unclear from your message how the Apache Service is stopping, or if it recovers or crashes. If it is crashing, then a bug report would be greatly appreciated. If it is simply becomming inaccessible for a brief period, that sounds more likely to be underallocation of resources, and the user support list will be the best place to address that. -aaron On Thu, Feb 08, 2007 at 08:17:09AM -0800, Greg Sims wrote: > I originally posted this to the User Support forum and received no replies > in over two weeks.
