[users@httpd] mod_rewrite: failed to lock file descriptor

[Andrew Zeon <andzeon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have Apache 1.3.26 running on Windows
2000. I am getting the following in my error.log:

[Mon May 16 13:44:04 2005] [error] Server
ran out of threads to serve requests. Consider raising the ThreadsPerChild
setting
[Mon May 16 13:44:09 2005] [error] [client
10.207.14.115] (36)Resource deadlock avoided: mod_rewrite: failed to lock
file descriptor
[Mon May 16 13:44:09 2005] [error] [client
10.120.122.148] (13)Permission denied: mod_rewrite: failed to unlock file
descriptor

The "ran out of threads" bit
I can understand... we are planning on increasing this value. However,
I'm trying to understand why I am getting the next two lines. FYI, there
is a problem with one of our rewrite rules and hence is consistenly throwing
this error:

[Mon May 16 13:44:00 2005] [error] [client
10.56.3.45] File does not exist: e:/apps/ibmhttpserver/htdocs/en_us/callhome

I get about 10 of these per second in
error.log. Could it be that the threads are trying to write to the log
files so fast that it's having locking issues?

Thanks.

Andrew
