oops, I didn't know that. I have always done it with "apachectl restart" until now, and never had any trouble with it. Note though: apachectl is just a bash script which does a simple "/usr/sbin/httpd -k restart". Is this still a problem? On a different machine e.g. it works fine, without even the problems restarting after a time. > when you restart, you end up cloning a lot of memory-- MP2 > isn't very > good at tearing out the old stuff.

My server has been running for 42 days now, with maybe 10 "apachectl restarts" since the last reboot, and the biggest httpd is still only 44 MB. At the moment only 3.8 GB of the available 4 GB are occupied. That's pretty normal for this server. > That *might* have someting to do with your issue.

And I got some help from it, because the kill -HUP works fine for me. The module changes are loaded and I don't need to perform a reboot anymore. That's very good!! Still, I find it strange, that a usual "httpd -k restart" does not work. I just had to reboot my machine. But before this I tried "kill -TERM " on the apache. The httpd was completely shut down, but unfortunately, then I couldn't start it up again. When typing "httpd -k start" or "apachectl start": nothing happening, no logs, no info, nothing. So I just could reboot... and now everything works fine again. If I remove the "LoadModule mod_perl" from the httpd.conf however, the apache can start. That's why , I believe it got something todo with mod_perl. -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Henrik Steffen Geschäftsführer top concepts Internetmarketing GmbH Am Steinkamp 7 - D-21684 Stade - Germany ------------------------------------------------------------ Damit wir Ihnen bestmöglichen Service bieten können, senden Sie Ihre E-Mail-Anfragen bitte an [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.topconcepts.de Tel. +49 1805 9977 501* mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax. +49 1805 9977 502* ------------------------------------------------------------ SMS Versand ab 9.9 Cent: http://sms-gw.topconcepts.de ------------------------------------------------------------ Handelsregister: AG Tostedt HRB 100687 - UstId: DE 213645563 ------------------------------------------------------------ *) EUR 0,12/Min.
