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 can reproduce this behavior every time by using ab to send some (maybe 5000) requests, and the machine stops responding, including no longer handling HTTP requests, about halfway through the benchmark, even with a concurrency of only one or two. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Apache, 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 with ThreadsPerChild 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.
