Hi Nick,Thanks for the reply. The configs are identical on all three machines; these servers just serve up a few custom ASP scripts to relay information from the field to the backoffice (via a custom software package that uses HTTP requests to send & retrieve the data). In fact, there's not enough going on that it should be straining the machine at all, but even without the ASP module (SunOne) installed, the behavior of this machine is still such that after a few hundred requests, the entire system is unresponsive until the Apache service is stopped. I just tried turning KeepAlive requests off, but got the same results. I ran ab with 5000 requests and a concurrency of 3, and within about 30 seconds (about 500 requests) the entire machine stopped responding, though neither CPU usage nor memory usage appear to spike. Any other ideas? Again, thanks.

If the hardware is relatively the same id say start by checking the differences in the configs. What MPM are you running? Do you have keepalives on? On a server that experiences many hits I found better results in turning keepalives off or setting the max keepalive timeout to <=5. Are you noticing anything odd in the error log such as crashing? Take a look here for a few tips as well: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/perf-tuning.html -Nick -----Original Message-----From: Jim Keller [mailto:jim_keller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 9:55 PMTo: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Apache 2.0.55 bringing Win2k3 to a halt Hey all,I currently added a new server running Win2k3 server standard, Apache 2, and a decent set of hardware specs (2.8ghz xeon, 1GB ram). I currently have two other machines running Apache 2 on the same setup without any issues. In fact, they run quite reliably. However, I'm having some strange issues with this newest server and was wondering if someone could shed any light on the problem. Essentially, if Apache is serving even a light or moderate amount of requests, the machine will grind to a halt (taking minutes just to process a login, seconds to respond to mouse clicks, etc) until the Apache service is stopped. I canreproduce this behavior every time by using ab to send some (maybe 5000) requests, and the machine stops responding, including no longer handlingHTTP requests, about halfway through the benchmark, even with a concurrency of only one or two. I've tried uninstalling and reinstallingApache, running with a completely fresh config, and also tried using version 2.0.58. I would upgrade to 2.2, but ultimately this machine needs to run SunOne ASP, which does not currently support Apache 2.2. However, even with SunOne completely uninstalled and with a fresh httpd.conf, the slowdown issue is still present. I've tried playing withThreadsPerChild and MaxRequestsPerChild, but to no avail. I've also tried disabling all unnecessary services on the machine, installing all Windows Updates, and of course rebooting many times.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Jim Keller --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
