Knowing this might help us help you better. CGI? If I'm having a PHP extension forked along with an apache child process, that extension has initially not had a database connection, but it's established when processing requests,,, that connection can get forked along with a child process? (In other words and repeating myself a bit: apache forks it's child processes after they have already been processing requests?) Note that I'm considering prefork MPM and PHP scripts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
