I have just installed a new installation with Windows 2000 Server (sp1),
Apache 1.3.17 and PHP 4.0.4pl1.  I am using PHP as a module.  I have a
couple of pages that use an ODBC driver to interact with a database (one is
Access the other is MSSQL7).  About every 3rd attempt to load one of these
pages will result with the page never loading.  If I hit Stop and do it
again it will work (until the next 3rd try).  Sometimes Apache will just
completely hang and I have to stop and restart the service.  I understand
the disclaimers about it being buggy (particularly with the Apache module),
I am just trying to find out if there is possibly something I am doing
wrong.

For comparison purposes, I have another web server running NT 4, IIS 4 and
PHP (ISAPI module) with no problems.  I have even reconfigured PHP to work
as a CGI (on the Apache box).  When trying to make the ODBC connections in
this setup, it always fails when trying to connect to the datasource (my
guess is that it is a timing issue...the CGI method loads slower; I had the
same problem using the CGI on IIS).  I have also tried using a native SQL7
connection, but that hung up Apache about every other request.

I apologize if my question is answered elsewhere, but I have been unable to
find any documentation about it.  I am desperately trying to keep from
having to run IIS...
