Hi, We are running apache 2.0.35 on RHEL4 running in prefork mode. Its a standard apache configuration for running cgi scripts. I can send it if required The behaviour we are observing with apache is after servicing 2 cgi requests which (do a long database lookup ~5 minutes) apache will not service any other cgi requests until one of the above come back. I have tried using RLimitNPROC, RlimitCPU , and RLimitMEM and even set them to max, but it does not affect the behavior. apache runs as www. Any clues ? --Digz --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
