Hi, I have a very strange problem and I cannot even determine the reason. First configuration: virgin instalation of Debian Etch with: -Apache 1.3.34 with modules: mod_so, mod_macro, config_log_module, mime_magic_module, mime_module, negotiation_module, status_module, aotoindex_module, dir_module, cgi_module, userdir_module, alias_module, rewrite_module, access_module, auth_module, expires_module, setenvinf_module, perl_module, php4_module, gzip_module, python_module. -PHP 4.4.4-8-ecth4 -Mysql 5.0.32 -other Debian etch packages. PC: P4 with 512 MB. Kernel 2.6.18 from distro. Ewerything works correctly except apache. Its configured almost like basic-install configuration ( /var/www directory etc. ) After startup apache starts for about 1 minute. It uses then about 100% of CPU. Then everything looks and works OK. First use of server also takes about 30 seconds also with 100% cpu usage. Then it runs properly. I use phpsysinfo page and some simple php scripts to insert data for exim ( exim+mysql ) for e-mail boxes. After about 1 hour, maybe less when You want to refresh a php page ( this phpsysinfo ) apache runs also with 100% of CPU, waits about 1 minute and returns blank page. No error info on the browser, no error on the apache logs. Just nothing. Restart of apache ( apachectl restart ) helps for about 1 hour. What I did: - tested apache-ssl from this distribution - the same result - blank page - no error. - tested php5 ( was before - i downgraded to 4 ) - the same result - blank page - no error. - added of course hostname to /etc/hosts ( apache works curently in my lan - no routing is needed, but it has of course internet connection). - i tested it without some modules but there is no change. - i declared a virtual host for 1 IP - no change. - I GUESSED: it's probably the problem of PHP because the static pages ( pure html ) works fine. I mean they work even if phpsysinfo returns nothing ( blank page ) Also perl works fine all the time ( sqwebmail - perl e-mail<->www ), but written in php in one line transfer: <? header("location:/cgi-bin/sqwebmail"); ?> does not work - blank page - no error. Of course when I type /cgi-bin/sqwebmail in web browser - it runs properly ( as it's perl .... ) like static html. Where to find, where to look, I cron-restart server every hour - but it's not a solution. If You want any info more - pls ask. .... it's not my first apache server, even not a 10-th so I'm really crashed.... .... I'm familiar with httpd.conf...... please ... help.... -- Pozdrawiam Grzegorz J.
