Re: apache2 'connection closed' problem

[nihilo <exnihilo@myrealbox.com>]

An update on the 'blank pages' apache2 problem I was having, so that it 
gets archived with my question.

My debian system is actually a chrooted environment on a redhat server. 
The server uses a piece of software called Virtuozzo to allow multiple 
virtual servers on the same physical server, and it uses a dynamically 
reconfigurable filesystem vzfs, which doesnt have support for Unixes 
send_file support, which is enabled by default.

The solution was to add "EnableSendfile Off" to the config file.

cheers,

n.
