The most likely culprit is PROBABLY not PHP. Take PHP out of the equation, and surf to a static HTML page -- Making *SURE* that PHP is not configured to parse all HTML pages. This (static HTML == NO PHP) is the default install, but not the way may users configure PHP, so double-check. Perhaps even go so far as to temporarily dis-able the LoadModule/AddModule of PHP in httpd.conf... Be sure to RE-START APACHE after changes to httpd.conf or php.ini, or the changes will NOT take effect. To be 100% certain PHP is not "in", use a file named, say, phpinfo.htm and put <?php phpinfo();?> in it. If you see all the PHP output with blue/white tables, then you're still using PHP. If you see "nothing" but "View Source" shows: <?php phpinfo();?> then you are not using PHP, and can safely test non-PHP problems. Whew. Now, with no PHP, Hit re-load a lot, really fast. Do you get the same error? If so, PHP can't really be the culprit, almost for sure. [Though with Windows, you never know for certain... :-)] If it *IS* PHP, and only happens with PHP, I'd suspect that... 1) PHP is not exiting cleanly, so is tying up your Apache threads / processes, so after MaxChildren page-loads in a short period of time, there are no HTTP processes left to process your request. This is my #1 first guess. 2) PHP is "somehow" messing up Apache in random weird ways. This is harder to imagine how, but would PROBABLY be tied to some not-so-common DLL you have enabled in php.ini Take out the various extensions and re-start Apache and re-test to eliminate extension DLLs. 3) Something else. This falls into the category of "VooDoo Debugging" and you're on your own... :-^ -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
