I recently build a new 64 bit windows 2008 server with the following specs: OS: 64 bit Windows 2008 R2 Dual processors (8 cores) I have installed following software on it: Tomcat 6.0.24 mod_jk 1.2.30 JDK 1.6.0_18 (64 bit) Apache httpd 2.2.15 with open SSL PHP 5.3.2 This configuration is talking to an Oracle 11g db via jdbc drivers (for JDK 1.6). mod_jk is used as a connector between httpd and tomcat. There will be multiple instances of tomcat in future. Apache httpd server has been throwing status 255 message every now and then which results in "Page cannot be displayed" message on client browser. If the use hits refresh button the server responds and page is displayed. I saw the following the httpd logs: Fri Jun 18 15:37:59 2010] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 255 -- Restarting.
