I have Apache 1.3.27 compiled with mod SSL using openssl 0.9.6.g OS=AIX 5.1.
The SSL site stops executing CGI scripts when load gets a little high. I checked the process list and found 106 httpd servers running. System loads at the UNIX level were nominal (< 0.8). I get tons of the following error in my error logs: [Thu Dec 11 06:00:00 2003] [error] [client ] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /usr/local/apache/sslcgi/navbar1 [Thu Dec 11 06:00:00 2003] [error] [client ] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /usr/local/apache/sslcgi/navbar2 [Thu Dec 11 06:00:00 2003] [error] [client ] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /usr/local/apache/sslcgi/register.cgi HTML page responses are still very fast even with the errors. Problem does not occur when number of Apache servers < 70. This is not a great deal of load. The hardware is capable of handling a lot more than that. Can someone point me in the right direction? Help is greatly appreciated. Server configs availble on request. Don't want to send large stuff over the list. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] UNIX Systems Administrator (919) 662-3508 Wake Technical Community College fax (919) 662-3504 ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
