[users@httpd] jk2 can't find child

[sa...@northwestern.edu]

Dear all,

My tomcat server hangs every sunday morning at 4am.

Ive managed to find out the following:

Every sunday morning at 4am, cron restarts syslogd, which in turn
'rotates' my apache httpd logs, which in turn forces my apache httpd to
check out it's scoreboard, and memory etc. and to reset/restart any
processes etc. etc.

I dont know exactly what apache httpd does, because all i see is this:

i think the 'child init 1 -2' shuts down, or restarts that particular process.

Anyway, this 'resetting' spills over into the tomcat webserver, which
announces, at the same time, a few INFOs:

Jan 11, 2004 4:02:04 AM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket processConnection
INFO: server has been restarted or reset this connection
Jan 11, 2004 4:02:04 AM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket processConnection
INFO: server has been restarted or reset this connection
Jan 11, 2004 4:02:04 AM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket processConnection
INFO: server has been restarted or reset this connection

This is all i've got to go on. looking at the time stamps, the problem
seems to be caused before the childs get missed, ie perhaps when the
parent httpd is restarted?

I've got below, my two config files for jk2, and i'm led to believe that
a simple re-configuration could prevent this hanging of tomcat. Im not
sure at all what?

Cheers
Sam
