I'm having some adventures with my Apache server running on FreeBSD 2.2.8 (Celeron 333 w/cache, 256 MB RAM). Some of my web users are unable to run banner rotation CGI scripts - they keep getting messages like : [Fri Jan 29 18:19:42 1999] [error] [client 209.122.252.24] (35)Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /u1/delay/www/centralad/getimage.cgi (editted to fit). httpd runs as user nobody, and I've created a new class in /etc/login.conf called "web" and assigned "nobody" to it (using "chsh nobody"). In the definitions for class web I've set really high limits on maxprocesses and memoryuse, but it hasn't helped the problem - still get that blasted error message. I suspect I'm overlooking something basic - anyone have any pointers? And while we're at it, what effect will I see if I manipulate the limits on datasize, stacksize, memoryuse, memorylocked, maxprocesses, amd openfiles? FWIW, I *have* searched the mailing list archive, I *have* put "limits -u unlimited" in my apachectl, and tried just about everything else I could think of.
