[users@httpd] Problem with sendfile on VMware ESX

[Otávio C. Cordeiro]

Hi, I was setting Apache (2.2.6) to run on a Linux ESX (VMware ESX 3.5) but the environment is presenting some problems. Every non-SSL connection with mime 'text/html' breaks on 255 chars. $ curl --head http://ip:non-ssl/ curl: (52) Empty reply from server. Setting .html to be interpreted by the PHP (application/x-httpd-php) everything goes OK and using 'text/html' with SSL the problem can not be reproduced. The solution I found is to use "EnableSendFile off" into the non-SSL VirtualHost. It's working, but SendFile should be implemented on ESX, since it's using a 2.4 kernel... I checked it against other versions of Linux (Redhat Enterprise 4 and 5, SuSe Enterprise 9 and 10) and did not have any problems (kernel 2.6). Has anyone experienced something like that?
