Hi I am trying to upgrade from apache 2.2.4 to 2.2.6 on Red Hat AS4 update4-x64 configuration I compiled apache with following options. My 2.2.4 apache was also compiled with below configuration. ./configure --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-http --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-ftp --enable-http-core --enable-rewrite --enable-ssl --enable-deflate --enable-expires --enable-so --enable-headers --enable-logio --with-ssl=/cust/openssl-0.9.8f --prefix=/usr/opt/apache2 --with-mpm=prefork --enable-maintainer-mode I connected 2.2.6 using the httpd.conf file which I was using in 2.2.4. I collected tcpdump { tcpdump -s 0 host webServ -w dump.log } on one of the servers where apache was proxypassing requests. On analysing with etheral I observe that apache is closing the connection after every request. Here is a section from etheral which keeps repeating after every request-> Header "No","time","Source","destination","protocol","Info logicalport > listening port [Status]...... " Data -> "3","0.018626","208.246.226.171","208.246.226.166","TCP","33164 > 9380 [FIN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1379 Win=17 Len=0 TSV=380276575 TSER=327971424" Then next request starts from next port -> "4","0.018668","208.246.226.171","208.246.226.166","TCP","33165 > 9380 [SYN] Seq=0 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=380276575 TSER=0 WS=9" This problem is not there when I connect with 2.2.4 to the same server. I read the release notes, googled etc.. but could not find a clue. Any clues where to look for?
