The directive means to let a child process die and fork it anew after n individual request for this particular child process. You can try and keep an eye on these children with mod_status, write it all into a logfile and reconstruct when the lockup occurs. Not sure it's of any use though. ;( You mentioned httpd -X. Maybe you try and follow the process(es) during the lockup with strace/truss. Besides, I forgot to mention, that there is mod_diagnostics by Nick Kew. Itis mentioned here from time to time. See http://apache.webthing.com/mod_diagnostics/ Nick will be able to give you specific hints on how to use it. mod_forensic can also help to nail down the bad request. But it sounds, like your problem is not about a specific request. Otherwise, I am slowly running out of ideas and you have done all your homework before. It's really hard to recommend anything here. At least for me, but that does not say much. regs, Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
