Hello, I have a quite busy web server, so I use lsof to trace what files/directory are actually using: /usr/sbin/lsof and I found SO MANY... httpd 1745 web cwd DIR 8,6 4096 8427988 /var/my_web_site/private httpd 1747 web cwd DIR 8,6 4096 8427988 /var/my_web_site/private httpd 1748 web cwd DIR 8,6 4096 8427988 /var/my_web_site/private .. .. all are cwd... And most importantly this folder is in fact out of my document root... Any idea why is it happending? Any more I can trace? Thanks. (p.s. I am using mod_perl) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
