You should try using: SSLMutex default SSLSessionCache shmcb:... instead of the default settings, this will probably avoid both the issues with the mutex at graceful restart and the issues with the dbm session cache. We've had a couple of reports recently of sites using mod_ssl seeing processes eating CPU, but nobody has yet taken the time to get a backtrace out of such a process. Add, for example: CoreDumpDirectory /tmp to your config, then send SIGSEGV to core dump a spinning process when you see one, or attach to it with "gdb /path/to/httpd <pid>", and enter: backtrace full in gdb to get a backtrace. joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
