Any more information on this problem? Anyone solved it?
server-status makes it obvious what's being said in this thread - ie. the
children forked by apache aren't allowing themselves to be re-used on a
different connection properly, hence they all eventually lock up (once
KeepAlive times out) and your web site goes down.
Corinna - simply set KeepAlive on, and the time out value to 10. Then
access your index page, wait 10 seconds and then access it again... continue
this a few times and you will end up locking all the children up. (they
work fine until the keepalive system tries to reset them to another
connection)
Regards
