Apache processed are being spawned regularly on my FreeBSD 4.6 machine, but they never die. In other words, a new one is spawned every few hours, as long as hits are coming in, but no processes ever die. Eventually there are dozens, even hundreds of httpd processes accumulated, and Apache stops responding. Doing apachectl stop apachectl startssl removes the processes, but they start building up again. I've installed these ports: apache+modssl (1.3.26) modphp_4 (4.2.1) mysql-server-3.23.49 My httpd.conf file is set to the defaults of: Timeout 300 KeepAliveTimeout 15 SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm in touch with some people having the same problem on Mac OSX Server, so it doesn't seem to be just me, although my OSX Server machine doesn't have the problem. Please reply to me off-list.
