I have never heard of this before, so what follows is more general troubleshooting techniques... Check out what happens to your system under top when it hangs. How much free RAM do you have, does your machine start to swap ? If you run the raw httpd command from the init.d httpd/apache script with a -X modifier from the command line, this can help debug things, just do something like this: bash> strace httpd -X you can hit the web server as normal, but it is in single process mode, and you might be able to see better on which system call it hangs. If you keep top running in a separate window while you do this, you could glean some information pointing at the real problem, whatever it may be. > PerlSetVar StateDB MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File > PerlSetVar StateSerializer Storable > PerlSetVar StateCache 1 > PerlSetVar Debug 2 > PerlSetVar SessionTimeout 1440 > PerlSetVar StateManager 4 > PerlSetVar StatScripts 0 > There is a lot of redundant information in your conf file. I think you will find that you can move PerlSetVar configs out of <Files> blocks to one level higher to cover all of the Files blocks if they share common settings. > > use Apache::ASP; > > Apache::ASP->Loader( '/usr/local/apache/ADDRKEEP/asp', > "(asp|html|pm)\$", > 'Global' => '/usr/local/apache/ADDRKEEP/asp', > 'Debug' => 2, > ); > > use lib "/usr/local/ADDRKEEP/perl"; > I would put the "use lib" line before the Apache::ASP->Loader() line, but it probably really doens't matter since the use should get executed first anyway. But the reality is the ASP application that you are precompiling probably depends on modules in ADDRKEEP being available. Let us know what you figure out, bizarre problem really. -- Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
