Hi! First time posting - will try to step lightly. I've got Apache 2.2.14 installed on a Win XP laptop. Some page loads work fine, but others never complete. To rule out PHP or MySQL, I made a 1 KB, static, HTML-only page, and I get the same hit-or-miss issue with it. I've also tried Firefox and IE, with the same results. If I load a page repeatedly, some requests never complete. It isn't 100% predictable, but seems to happen most if a 'hard refresh' (Ctrl+F5) is used and requests come in quick succession. If I wait 5 seconds between each one, it rarely hangs; if 2 seconds, it hangs every 2nd or 3rd time. To investigate, I enabled httpd-info and ExtendedStatus. On the server-status page, I see that each time a request 'hangs,' the number of requests being processed goes up. Each is listed as 'sending reply,' but both the number of accesses to that connection and the kilobytes transferred are 0. Requests to server-status itself sometimes hang, though rarely. Here's a sample of server-status after hammering Apache with a bunch of reloads: --------------------------------------------------- Current Time: Wednesday, 13-Jan-2010 11:10:01 Eastern Standard Time Restart Time: Wednesday, 13-Jan-2010 10:59:23 Eastern Standard Time Parent Server Generation: 0 Server uptime: 10 minutes 37 seconds Total accesses: 202 - Total Traffic: 1.2 MB .317 requests/sec - 1912 B/second - 5.9 kB/request 19 requests currently being processed, 45 idle workers ___________________________W_WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ................................................................

It's a DELL D600 with 1 GB of RAM and 1.6 GHz processor. Normally I'd be 100% sure that a problem is my fault, but I found someone else with an identical issue, so I'm only 98% sure. :) He asked the question here, and I have responded, but we're in the same boat. http://serverfault.com/questions/95620/local-apache-on-windows-xp-not-finishing-page-requests/102080#102080 Thanks in advance for any help or (gentle?) corrections. --Nathan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
