I rebooted and that cleared up the problem, but do you think
this could
be an early warning sign of a failing drive?
I doubt it very much - drives don't give early warnings they just
suddenly die. But then again, they don't do that very often... 99.99% of
problems are due to software so if you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not
zebras.
Thanks for the advice, I'll do what you recommended, but don't zebras
have hoofs as well ;) ?
I mentioned file descriptors - look at how many logs files you have
open, find out how to count the free Fds on mac os, etc...

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] perl scripts suddenly failing
Hello,
In the last few days, existing cgi scripts that had been
working fine,
now fail with an apache 500 error. The exact error
getting logged by
apache is:
[Wed Apr 4 12:01:47 2007] [error] [client 71.233.250.53]
(35)Resource
temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process:
/home/user/cgi-bin/test.cgi
test.cgi is a simple hello world perl script. In the
apache conf for
the site I have:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/cgi-bin/
<Directory /home/user/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
"which perl" shows /usr/bin/perl
This is running on Mac OSX 10.3.9 on a G5 xserve with the latest
Not too familiar with Mac Os but I believe it's now based
on FreeBSD...
Anyway, it seems to be having some resource limitation problem (file
descriptors is one of the Usual Suspects). The simplest
thing to try to
get going again would be a reboot. Then check system logs and try a
MacOs forum/consultant...
Rgds,

solutions are
appreciated
