Thanks to all who replied! The install of 2.0.59 from rpm seemed to go fine, except that when I restarted httpd, mod_ssl wouldn't load. Luckily I'm not running any SSL stuff right now, but it is strange. It gave a specific line error for a binary file. At any rate, the MaxClients have been adjusted and the server seems to be humming along. Thanks again, guys. > > On Sep 14, 2006, at 10:33 AM, D. J.
