FAIL With that many virtual hosts on one machine, the server may not be completely cleaned up after the stop before you try starting it again. It takes the os a few seconds to clean the ram / swap after shutting down apache without that many virtual hosts. > open the file which has virtual host records, > inc.vhost.httpd.conf put # > sign > start of 30-40 lines save and close the file. > > apachectl start, OK > > open the file again and remove the #'s > > apachectl graceful, OK Graceful ans stop / start are two entirely different functions. Graceful / restart rereads the conf and applies changes on the fly in functionality. The stop / start completely cleans the server from the system stack then starts it up again. > Please help :) We are getting mad more and more > everyday. > > You could check the php config and other details at > http://82.222.170.52/i.php > This was not a good idea, this list has publicly accesable archives of all messages. > We are using Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, we are > installing apache , php , and modules from source.

You should still have a backup server running with fail-over configured so that clients service isn't interrupted if the server fails. It would be a good idea to have fewer virtual hosts on any one machine, just to reduce the number of clients affected by any problems.
