I have asked this question three times in the apache-users forum and not heard a response. I know this is a problem related more to Apache than Tomcat but I'm hoping someone who is running a similar configuration can help.
I have a Sun Netra X1 Solaris 8 running Apache 1.3.22 w/ mod_ssl, mod_rewrite, mod_status, mod_jk with Tomcat 3.3. We are suddenly seeing processes that have long running "R" states (hours, days, ...) in server-status. If I do a server-status?notables I can see a reference to URL and IP but am not convinced this is the request that is hanging (the log files don't support what I'm seeing). The files see to be those that are not passed back to tomcat (ajp13, load balanced) for the web application such as .js, .gif and .jpg. None are zero length and they all have read permission. I also don't see anything via netstat that would indicate that there are other IP's connecting to a port but not sending anything across. from mod_jk.conf: JkMount /webstaff/*.jsp lbcon JkMount /webstaff/servlet/* lbcon Alias /webstaff /opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.3/webapps/webstaff <Directory "/opt/jakarta-tomcat-3.3/webapps/webstaff"> In looking at a custom logs w/ User-Agent, PID, IP and URL the problem references (if the logs are correct) seem to be 98 machines and usually customized (AOL, COX, MSN ) browsers. Am I alone in this problem? Could this in any way be hardware/os related? I have not seen this on another site we have that runs on Dell/RH 7.1 with Apache/Tomcat/JBoss, it has nowhere near the usage of the server that's encountering these issues. Help, my forehead is starting to hurt from banging it against the wall. John Moore
