Hi All, This morning one of our web servers (OS X 10.4, Lasso 8.5.5, Apache 1.x) choked on over 500 httpd processes. I couldn't kill them no matter what I tried, no pages were being served and I couldn't soft-reboot the machine. Finally a power cycle cleared things up. Has anyone else seen this problem? Any idea what might cause it or how it can be detected / guarded against? thanks!

I'm experiencing something similar. If I catch it early enough, I can
ssh and kill processes and restart apache and lasso which gets things going again. Error log shows thousands of "child process xxxx still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM". reinstalled apache and lasso and a day later same thing. Haven't come up with a solution yet. right now cron is periodically restarting both apache and lasso services. Getting ready to move all sites from that server to another one in case there's a disk problem. I know this isn't helpful but at least you know that the problem exists elsewhere.
