Hi Stefan,It was already set to 4, I read in the script it something about increasing it to atleast 12, So to be on the safe side I increased it to 30.
That makes it take abit longer to restart but thats a better solution than forcing it to stop and then having to reboot to clean things up.
Thanking you for your assistance, Paul. On Sat, 21 Jun 2008, Stefan Fritsch wrote:
Hi Paul, it seems if there is a large number of child processes, apache can take a long time to close all the listening sockets. If this is your problem, then apache should die some time after an unsuccessful restart. In this case, you could try to increase the wait time in the init script (there is a t=4 in there, try to increase it to 10 or however long it takes apache to die in your setup). Does this help? If yes, what wait time works for you? Cheers, Stefan
