For a week I struggled with the problem and it finally came down to the php5-clamav module while already running clamav on the machine. Since you're running PHP4 though, I don't know. For my problem, there was nothing I could find in any of the logs, and Apache would freeze at varying minutes/hours after it had been restarted. I removed Apache modules but the problem persisted. I ran memtest86+ on my memory modules, but the problem persisted. And Google was not my friend. Finally, since I'd tested everything in the machine and I'd removed all unnecessary Apache modules, to no avail, I started on PHP modules that weren't critical. That's how I found my problem. I'm sorry not to be much help, but I wish you luck. ;-) -- Raquel ============================================================ Our values are defined by what we will tolerate when it is done to others. --William Greider -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
