Just an FYI IBM does not recommend this combination: to WAS 5.0.2 / I.H.S. 1.3.26.2 combination. For WAS 5.0 YOU NEED TO install HIS 2.0.42.X Thank Balanand Pinni 23-H-4 SBC Services Inc OBC ,Stl MO * 314-206-5911 * bp3965@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Slive [mailto:jslive@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 12:22 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Httpd processes are not dying On 9/13/05, Mishra, Pawan <Pawan.Mishra@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Joshua, > > I am not sure you remember the problem I stated last time so I am > listing it here again.

Well, the server-status looks completely normal except that MaxSpareServers is not being honored. So the first thing I'd do is triple-check that you are editting the correct config-file, and that MaxSpareServers occurs only once in that config. Other than that, I'd really suggest reporting this to IBM, since it appears you are using an IBM-modified version of the server.
