Apache on Win32 intermittently failing to respond?
Hi, I'm running Apache 1.3.23 on WinNT 4.0 SP6. I'm also using PHP 4.1.1
(as a .dll and not as an .exe) and mySQL 3.23.47. My index page
(/index.shtml) is simple SHTML, using server-side includes of HTML files and
nothing more. This problem seems to span any file on the site - it is NOT a
PHP or mySQL problem.
Here is my problem: Apache seems to occasionally refuse to respond, if for
only a minute at a time. This happens when tested with a client on the
server itself, from my work machine, and from many others. I've noticed
this happening on and off for the last month. (I upgraded to 1.3.23, and got
the latest version of PHP, and this seemed to fix it for a while, but I was
fooled by the intermittency of the problem - it didn't.)
I've looked through all the known bugs and postings, and I can't find a
similar problem anywhere.
As near as I can tell, Apache is just going south for a minute. Trying to
open the page DOES NOT time out; I immediately get a 'cannot find server or
DNS error'. If I hit refresh, sometimes it comes back immediately;
sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds. Interestingly enough, I've seen the
following behaviour a few times:
1. Apache refuses to respond.
2. Then, Apache will respond, but some files aren't served; say, an image
on the index page, or, most frequently, the style sheet, but the page will
load.
3. After a few refreshes, the page will load normally.
This behaviour is consistent across multiple machines, but it's intermittent
in its frequency and duration. The problem can't always even be immediately
be resolved by restarting the Apache service.
Fixes I have already tried:
1. Turning off DNS lookups in the log. This has not helped one bit. I
thought maybe my DNS requests to my ISP were lagging and forcing Apache to
give up on re-sending, but this has had no effect.
2. Setting the MaxRequestsPerChild to a number besides 0, like, say, 30. I
had supposed that the child process was getting hooped up and maybe needed
to be pre-emptively terminated. Likewise, this has had no effect.
I am at my wit's end. I have actually begun scrounging parts together to
build a FreeBSD box to run this on for production, as having my web site
intermittently inaccessible isn't very desireable.
If anyone wants to know, the website is http://www.severetiredamage.net. If
you can produce this behaviour consistently, please let me know how. Or, if
this is some known configuration bug, also please let me know.
Thanks very much,
Jason

Hey everyone,
I usually NEVER do this (and I know it is WAY off topic) but I thought that this was pretty important seeing as how it HIGHLY affects all of us in the IT industry and even casual users. This was posted in the following Anandtech forum (a hardware review site) and is spreading over the internet. This piece of legislation would kill open source (read: apache, etc) and make it illegal to build your own PC's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to focus everyone's attention on this article...not necessarily to put attention on Intel; Microsoft is joining Intel, and I hope the rest of the companies in the computing industry follow suit by speaking out against this travesty of congressional legislation.
Specifically, I'm talking about the Security Systems Standards and Certification Act (SSSCA). This, my friends, is far worse than the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). It is yet another piece of legislation, supported by the likes of Disney and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), that supercedes decades of Supreme Court precedence regarding private fair-use laws and places the power in the hands of media and entertainment conglomerates.
Most of my greviences I'm addressing here are related to my position as a soon-to-be researcher and graduate student in Computer Science/Computer Architecture. But by no means will the SSSCA just affect scientists. The SSSCA mandates that any digital device, hardware or software, must utilize and recognize certified security technologies. This means every piece of software; every PC; every video card, hard drive, CPU, motherboard, etc; every PDA, every DVD-player and every digital movie media; every CD player & audio CD; absolutely every consumer and enterprise digital device. The use or sale of any non-SSSCA certified device leads to civil penalties up to federal felonies.
The SSSCA, among other things, will make the following illegal:
* Assembling a home-built PC.
* Using a non-secure computer (ie, a computer built before the would-be implementation of the SSSCA) on a network.
* Widespread development of open-sourced (non-copyrighted and "digitally unsigned? software.
* Use of open-sourced software (essentially the entire software platform for the UNIX and Linux operating systems, on which Computer Science research relies).
* University and corporate research on systems, debugging, security, and watermarking.
As a future researcher in Computer Science and Engineering, this is absolutely appalling. This bill would take the United States out of the position of leadership in Computer Science and Engineering, on which the multi-billion dollar PC, software, semiconductor, and computer chip industries rely. I can't even imagine the extent that this bill will hurt our relations with foreign computing companies, as well as high-tech imports and exports.
I have never been one to indulge in "conspiracy theories?or corporate hatred, but I cannot believe how many Constitutional freedoms the SSSCA would take away from the US citizens and place into the hands of the media corporations.
Yes, there is a need for security in the digital medium, but as has been shown time and time again, the computing industry will take care of itself in the implementation. There is no need to legislate this action, and do so in such a draconian manner that its implication decimates the way the computing industry operates. The entertainment industry wants to neuter the computing industry, turning powerful, general-purpose computers into expensive movie playing terminals.
I wrote letters to my Congressional representative and Senators yesterday regarding this issue, I implore all of you to do the same (write or type letters, don't send email). Tell everyone you know who is remotely interested in anything technological about this, and ask them to do the same.

Hello everybody.
I would like to install new modules to my apache server (running under

But, when I launch a "make all install" command, I get an error : apxs tool
missing
Where can I get this tool?

so it looks like a dns error :-) try reproducing the error using the ip
address of the machine instead of the dns name in the url.
is there any signature on the error message page?
i think apache is not the problem here.
