Thanks for replying, Axel. I'm familiar with the SSLMutex issue, but I doubt that it is the problem in this case. The system failed over to another node that uses the same configuration files (on a shared drive), and it runs fine on the other node. It has to be something that is particular to the orignal node. I think it has to do with stopping and starting Apache while the process monitor was also attempting to start it. I don't know how the lock is implemented, but possibly it is trying to access the lock with an old reference that no longer exists?

Recently, I added a Location directive, and bounced Apache, but received the following errors in the error_log: [Wed Jun 07 18:03:54 2006] [warn] pid file /global/camin-http/apache/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run? [Wed Jun 07 18:23:40 2006] [warn] (22)Invalid argument: Failed to acquire global mutex lock [Wed Jun 07 18:23:40 2006] [warn] (22)Invalid argument: Failed to release global mutex lock The unclean shutdown message was probably caused by a process monitor that attempted to restart Apache after I stopped it. In researching this, I've found plenty of references to the mutex locking error, but nothing including the 'Invalid argument'. Has anyone run across this?
