The reason for me was 'too many open file handles'. Every http daemon has a file handle for every DSO module, moreover a file handle for every log file. After sometime I started to have that error and found static building the best solution for my problem. IIRC, DSO is still marked as experimental in apache source. Last, but not least, conf files look better :) Ciao, Valerio Valerio Paolini, <http://130.136.3.200/~paolini> -------------------------------------------------- what is open-source about?
