Running Apache 2.2.8 [ Mandriva 2008.1 default build with php5, mod_perl and mod_python over base install ] I set up 3 vhosts, using name based vhosts. all 3 work but the 3rd one has a response time of over 5 minutes. This is just loading a basic html page, so the php, perl and python support shouldn't be an issue. The other two vhosts load and display the correct page instantly. I added them one at a time and tested, when the first one worked I copied the container and edited it to meet the needs of the second, tested then repeated for the third. Does anyone have any idea what would cause the 3rd vhost to take so long to respond? here is the vhost conf currently in use: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin DocumentRoot /home/jaqui/public_html ServerName dev.runic-hosting.com ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dev.runic-hosting.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dev.runic-hosting.com-access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin DocumentRoot /home/dawnfyre/public_html ServerName dev.jaqui-greenlees.net ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dev.jaqui-greenlees.net-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dev.jaqui-greenlees.net-access_log common </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin DocumentRoot /home/shawan/public_html ServerName dev.shawanspage.com ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dev.shawanspage.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dev.shawanspage.com-access_log common </VirtualHost> This is a testing system, so it's not a critical issue as in harming production system(s) The email addresses removed to avoid spambots getting them. The error logs only show: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace. for the default vhost, the other 2 vhosts have empty error logs.
