What kind of response were you getting from your server when you connected with another client? Timeout? 503? 500? If you tried to hit another WordPress page, it probably ALSO called wp-cron.php which tried to hit the db to check for outstanding tasks, and that call probably got blocked by a db record or table lock. I'm guessing this is really a question for the WordPress community. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlcw8msACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDhdwCfZQg66WfTk++WjLTsEBYMrnrD QVEAnipEMAPXxPhYRlz5/zYzJ8iueHYd =hyjH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
