This could be a slow backend or a bad timeout setting on your proxy. But before you do anything: Update your apache! This is a very old and broken version. It's likely the problem goes away after an upgrade to apache 2.2, which solves a proxy timeout issue. regs, Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
