Linux eddie.sccd.ctc.edu 2.0.34 #3 Wed Aug 26 15:23:44 PDT 1998 i686 unknown

>Description:
I cannot pinpoint any specific time or reason that the server dies. Just every 6 or 7 hours
the all the the httpd children will slowly die (within about 10 minutes) until there is
only one process left, the one owned by root. I then stop and restart the server using the method
described on apaches web page ( kill -TERM `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`). About every three days this
method of stopping and restarting the server does not work because it says the
port (80) is still in use and there is no /var/run/httpd.pid file and I must reboot the server. I have recompiled httpd
recently and it only caused the problem to be worse. I also increased min and max
spare servers so as to ensure the server was not getting overloaded. But this problem
does not seem to be related to the nubmer of processes running on the system.
I'm also attaching a process and netstat report from when the server dies. Don't
know if it will help or not, but I hope so.
