Re: Why did my HTTP server lock up?

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

what release?
do you keep up with the http group ptfs?
in over 12 yrs of http (classic & apache) i've only had 1 lock up when 
running a comm trace and taking heavy traffic on a tiny machine (early 
v5r3).
And i run maxcgi at 4 times what i expect..
What is your TimeOut value ?
The KeepAliveTimeOut seems way excessive.
