Is there any way I can figure out what is triggering these versions of httpd to be piling up?Since you've looked at the logs and not found anything there (or at least eliminated what problems you have found), mod_status would be a good next step. If there is some reason why you cannot enable mod_status, then check who is holding the connections open with netstat.
Unfortunately I am a bit out of my depth here. How do I enable mod_status and then use it? And what exactly do I look for in netstat. I see nothing in netstat -pa just shows one httpd listaning on port www and one on port https which I presume is the master daemon listening for connections. (what do the other 8 daemons which are started up do?) tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 6105/httpd tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 6105/httpd It also shows tcp 0 0 boson:www mail5.alphameric.com:31040 FIN_WAIT2 - Why would it be waiting for a shutdown from the remote end? It does seem to be stuck. (ie, I do netstat -pa ten minutes apart and that line is still there) This address occurs in the logs as downloading my "thirdman" page (www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/thirdman/thirdman.html) which has a huge load of pictures on it.
