Hi, Unfortunately the error_log does not yield any hints for me... -bash-3.00$ grep Read-only error_log -bash-3.00$ grep cgid error_log There are a lot of errors that crossdomain.xml File Does not exist but that’s about it and I see that across all the servers. I turned on LogLevel debug and that’s not giving me anything interesting either. Thanks for the thoughts!

I've had the same symptons a few days ago. The error.log was saying: [error] cgid daemon process died, restarting [error] (30)Read-only file system: Couldn't bind unix domain socket /opt/apache-2.2.20/logs/cgisock ... Setting the ScriptSock directive to a writeable file fixed the issue. bye, Da.Ta --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
