[users@httpd] Apache disk read issue

[dbeistline2011 <db...@gmail.com>]

I hope someone can help me with this.

I am running into an issue with Apache.  When a source web page (the html on
disk) is updated (sent via ftp or edited with vi) the old page will still
display for over 5 minutes before the new page is sent.  I use control F5 to
force cache refresh and clear cache with no effect.

I turned off caching for all local pages in the httpd.conf server file.  Then I
get server is unable to respond when requesting the page that was just updated
and an error in error_log:
   "[error] [client 10.111.60.27] (26)Text file busy: file permissions deny
server access: /usr/local/docs/index.html"

This happens on both servers I have tried
     1) IBM 7029-6C3 running 5.3
     2) IBM 9111-520 running 7.1
   both are running pware53-64 packages for web services.

Apache version is 2.2.15

 I have tried 53 and 61 plus 32bit and 64bit packages all with the same results.


 Our web master has discovered that if the file that is not displaying
correctly
is deleted then re-sent the update displays immediately.

What could be locking the file preventing the web server from reading it for
over 5 minutes.

THANKS to all that reply.
