Hi.
This one is frustrating me to no end, and was wondering if some BSD/OSX
guru can help me out a bit.
I'm using the trunk, and trying to start apache, but I keep getting a
lock/sem problem
[Fri Aug 24 10:51:53 2007] [emerg] (28)No space left on device: Couldn't
create accept lock
this only happens if I have run the VPN. when I reboot it works great
(until I check into the VPN).
from what I can see this error is usually caused by running out of
sempahores, but ipcs doesn't show any.
and to make matters worse, it only started happening about 2 weeks ago.
As a workaround while you resolve why you are running out of mutexes
and/or how to increase the number, use AcceptMutex directive to have
it use a different mutex mechanism.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#acceptmutex
This question was perhaps more appropriate for user list and not
developers list.

Thanks Graham,
I'll remember the users list in the future. as I was using the trunk, I
thought it might have been a recent patch to apr/httpd which has caused
it, thats all.
BTW.. the acceptmutex works for stock apache, but not for mod_python
which doesn't have the ability to change the mutex mechanism it uses.
