HTTPD server stops responding
It happened several times in the last 2-3 weeks (once in every 2-3 days)
that my HTTP server just disappears and cannot be accessed. It either just
sticks on "connecting...." or "The connection was reset" when I try to
access the page. I have to give a "Restart Service" to get it working again.
Strangely, there is no error noted in the error.log or the
connection/activity logs.
Any ideas on how to fix it? I can't stand by the server and keep resetting
it.

thanks for the sugestions.
just for the info:
it was a clean install of a pre-compiled apache+php package.
after setting the php thread execution timeout from 30 sec to 60 about 4
days ago I had no freezes. (the machine sometimes has other overwhelming
softs running, and maybe sometimes that caused my server to hang.
debug loglevel will hopefully help me if it hangs again.
I consider this subject closed. thanks for all who assisted.

Did you compile from source or use a pre-compiled package? Neither one
of those SHOULD cause what you are seeing unless you went with a
development version. The better lists for those are their individual
mailing lists or news groups. I suggest starting with them
(specifically, PHP - unless you are using a mod_auth_mysql [or variant
depending on the version of Apache]).

Use that info in those other support avenues. It will definitely assist
in your diagnosis and increase the opportunity to get it fixed.

same results on the local machine IP as well.
actually the trouble started since I installed php 5.2.0 and mySQL about 3
weeks ago. I didn't install any other custom mods.
i'll drop the loglevel info to see if it gives anything

That is odd. LogLevel says (?) You probably wan to drop it to
LogLevel Info or so for a while.
Certain that windows firewall didn't kick in? If you access the
browser on the machine itself through 127.0.0.1 or it's assigned IP,
same results?

No one can tell you how to fix it until they know what the problem is.
Is it because of your custom module? (check by removing your module and
waiting for it to "hang".) Is it because of a network or OS related
problem (or patch, e.g. reloading a firewall)? Is it because of
specific types of requests? (Put a hook in your module to log incoming
connections and the requested URL to get more information). If it does
it without any custom modules, you may want to ask your OS provider, and
perhaps the HTTPD users' list instead of this one.
Just use some simple isolation troubleshooting to pin-point the problem,
and then we may be able to help, depending on what you find.
