We have two win32 apache servers and this is the first time I have run into any problems. We have been using apache for well over a year now and we have some transactions that run close to 20 minutes without issue. A restart in the middle of an in flight transaction is not acceptable, but I don't think that is normal behavior. I'm making an assumption that, if apache really does automatically restart, that it would wait for any in flight transaction to complete before it did its restart. I can't image it working any other way, although I've been wrong before. I feel that some other error condition occured to cause the restart, however, there is nothing in the log to support that assumption. In my readings I have found references to issues with Apache and web pages with large amount of data. The transaction that we had the problem with can, at times, return several meg of text data to the user, so I'm looking into that as well. What kind of hardware are you running apache on? Which OS are you using? Do you have any other servers/applications running on the same machine?

Does nobody use Apache on win32? I find it hard to believe that there is a substantial win32 user base out there that accepts Apache randomly restarting throughout the day. Has anybody else experienced this? Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
