We are using a setup with a "light-weight" apache in front of the mod_perl server.
Lately we have seen some problems with the mod_perl server. From time to time it stops responding to the requests from the front end. The problem seems to be related to the mod_perl server only since wget-ing on the localhost:port doesn't work either. Script with small or no output do work however. The server is also able to handle 404's and server-status. To debug I have tried to splitting the mod_perl the url space handled by mod_perl into 3 parts and creating 3 separate servers to handle these parts. The problem occurred again on all 3 servers at the same time. This has led me to believe that the problem might be related to the operating system. Perhaps some resource that is being overused. I am out of ideas however. Hope this list can help. Thanks in advance. Anders Nielsen
