  Shutdown everything.  Place system on an isolated network.  Start packet
sniffer (no filter).  Start any services Apache depends on (e.g., a local
DNS resolver).  Start Apache.  Send a single web client request.  Watch to
see if the system is sending any packets (other than the HTTP request).  If
so, find out why, and see if the (lack of) response is the problem.  If not,
the problem must be local -- database problem, maybe?

Ahhhm, just curious here, but why would a web server be sending out 
*any* packets, including HTTP requests.  Web servers *serve*, they 
don't request.  Good policy is to have an ip[chain,table]s script 
which prevents outgoing http requests from web servers.

If you're seeing requests *initiated* by your web server, you've got 
a major problem (unless it's something you specifically condone and 
(allowed to be) configured yourself.

Three-minute timeout during surfing?

2002-08-26 Thread Ken Ambrose

Howdy, all.  I just upgraded my boxen to RH 7.3, and suddenly my webmail
(SquirrelMail) is taking three minutes just to bring up the login page.  I
double-checked my httpd.conf file, and HostnameLookups is set to off, so I
don't -think- it's a reverse-DNS issue.  I'm stumped.  Below is a snippet
from an ethereal dump.  Any ideas?

GET /src/login.php HTTP/1.1
Host: webmail.xanoptix.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9)

 - insert three-minute wait here -

Note that the top portion is all from me, and the bottom portion is from
the server.

Thanks!

Have you had a chance to test it against a non-7.3 machine to make sure 
that it's not a problem on their end?

If you're sure that it has something to do with your upgrade, do you 
have a set of HTTP headers from before you upgraded, for comparison?

I'm sorry -- I wasn't explicit enough.  The boxen I upgraded -were- the
servers.  The clients are many, and varied, but seem to all experience the
same issue.  Note that of the clients from whom I've heard complaints, all
are behind NAT boxes, though I don't quite see how that would correlate.
(I'm going to give a go from a box with a real IP shortly, now that I
think of it...)

And the apache logs don't show anything?  What about a tcpdump to see if 
you're getting any retries?
