Cocoon problems

[Chris Mayes <cmayes3@yahoo.com>]

Hello, everyone.  I've been having problems getting Cocoon running on
my machine (both here and at work).  Here's a snippet from my post to
the Cocoon list:

--------------

So, here's the cycle:

1. Restart JServ and Apache
2. http://localhost/servlets/IsItWorking responds appropriately.
   (Note: Apache throws this error for each access:
     [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration:
/var/www/jserv)

3. Attempt to access http://127.0.0.1/Cocoon.xml 4. Client cycles;
Apache hangs
5. http://localhost/servlets/IsItWorking is no longer responding.
6. After a certain length of time, Apache throws a 500 and dumps this
to the error log:

[Sun Dec 10 19:24:57 2000] [emerg] JServ: ajp12: can not connect to
host 127.0.0.1:8007
[Sun Dec 10 19:24:57 2000] [emerg] JServ: ajp12: connection fail
[Sun Dec 10 19:24:57 2000] [error] JServ: an error returned handling
request via protocol "ajpv12"

7. Return to step 1.

Actually, the error in step 6 hasn't popped up on this latest iteration
(yet).  

Does anyone have any clue what might be wrong?  Are there other error
logs that I should be checking?  There's nothing unusual in jserv.log
or syslog.

Machine statistics (version numbers as reported by dpkg):

Debian Potato/Woody, kernel-image 2.2.17pre6-1
cocoon version: 1.5-2.3
jserv version: 1.1.2-2
apache version: 1.3.14-2 
Another thing that i noticed is that lsof -i turns up these entries:
-------------
Kaffe      9498 www-data    5u  IPv4 81767904       TCP
cmayes:8007->cmayes:2822 (CLOSE_WAIT)
Kaffe      9498 www-data    7u  IPv4 81769804       TCP
cmayes:8007->cmayes:2825 (CLOSE_WAIT)
Kaffe      9498 www-data    8u  IPv4 81772966       TCP
cmayes:8007->cmayes:2828 (CLOSE_WAIT)
Kaffe      9498 www-data  138u  IPv4 81719159       TCP cmayes:8007
(LISTEN)
Kaffe      9498 www-data  140u  IPv4 81765887       TCP
cmayes:8007->cmayes:2819 (CLOSE_WAIT)
-------------

...which seems to indicate that the Cocoon request is causing the jserv
listener to block (though I'm just guessing).  Also, port 8007 doesn't
show up on an nmap scan...  Should it?

--------------

I have essentially the same setup both at home and work and have
experienced exactly the same problems...

Suggestions would be most welcome ;-)

TIA,

-Chris
