Topic: Apache Recycle

[RJSJ]

We are having issues with Apache 2.059 on windows when it recycles. Occasionally the error.log will lock and not be accessible to the system at all anymore. The other issue we are having is with the recycling itself. It just stops and the web server will no longer recycle when it reaches max requests. We can force a restart with the Apache -k restart, however it will not recycle itself on its own until it is stopped and started. We have this occurring in multiple environments with Windows 2K and Windows 2k3.

PidFile logs/httpd.pid

KeepAlive On

I have included the modules and the logging we are doing if needed so there is as much information as I currently have. The odd thing is when this error occurs there is nothing logged in the log that can be seen even if we set it to debug. Please let me know if there is any additional information required and I appreciate any suggestions that are given.

Thank you,
Rich

Since none has an answer for you, did you think of upgrading to apache 2.2?
What kind of software do you run on your servers?
