[newbie] apache

[evan light]

Hi there...I'm running Linux-Mandrake 7.0 and am having a bit of trouble
with Apache, which I let the install setup.  Whenever I startup the
daemon I start getting very strange process responses.  The parent
appears as sleeping but alive, but the child processes appear right away
as zombies.  If I refresh, the children will become runable and if I
refresh again, they're all zombies again.  Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!
