So there are two scripts I am using as a test firefox 3.0.8 , launch test.cgi and you can see it provides a link to another cgi script which sleeps for 60 seconds. I launch this link again and again in a new tab/window , but any given time only one process has been started by apache on the host. Here are the two scripts ==test.cgi== #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print "<a href=/cgi-bin/sleep.cgi>sleep for 60 sec</a>"; ==sleep.cgi == #!/usr/bin/perl print("Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"); sleep(60); print("slept for 60 seconds"); Thanks Digz On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 5:44 PM, André Warnier<aw@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Digvijoy Chatterjee wrote: >> >> I already tried that and it does not help . > > Ok then. > > What you report is of course not the way it should work. > If Apache was always working that way, then half the hundreds of thousands > of Apache servers on this planet woould be on their knees, including mine. > And they are not. > > So it must have to do either with something in your configuration, or with > the way you run your test. > > Let's start with the test : how do you run it ? what is issuing the > requests to Apache ? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
