#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
# whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings
# of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
# same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/apache2/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the
# server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log".
#
### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at <URL>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
#
# The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
#<IfModule>
#<IfModule>
LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock
#</IfModule>

#
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
#
PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE}
#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300
#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On
#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.

#KeepAliveTimeout 15

One other bit of wisdom, if I keep my zoneminder bandwidth set to Medium and NOT low, it rarely freezes although I did up WEB_M_AJAX_TIMEOUT to 10000 in the medium b/w settings.
Updated 6/13/10: I did narrow down some of the freezing problem further to latency in the browser connection! I was connecting primarily through a VPN tunnel to the remote site where the ZM server is. That was causing issues also. I now access it still on port 80 through a straight WAN connection and much better as long as I'm not on a wireless router, again my laptop on LOW B/W settings is ok sometimes, but freezes sometimes, but much improved as long as I stay out of the VPN tunnel.
I did add 1 other change that stablized it even further and that was to edit the "Paths" tab, setting for "Paths_ZMS" from /cgi-bin/nph-zms to /cgi-bin/zms. The non parsed headers daemon would freeze from the latency and run to 100% CPU. The straight zms settings has been fine with no freezes.
Overall, much, much improved so hopefully this entire thread will help someone else.
All apache's processes was locked for flock() in session_start(). But one apache process (who was locking all other) was waiting for socket_select() in stream.php for a very long time.
This line: $numSockets = @socket_select( $rSockets, $wSockets, $eSockets, MSG_TIMEOUT );
This is because of MSG_TIMEOUT value was passed in ms (3000ms), but socket_select() treat four parameter as seconds (3000 seconds)!
Thanks Maklaut for the fix. But this has a side effect the the status and fps is not updated. Use a value like 5 or 10 intead of 0.
from php manual:
int socket_select ( array &$read , array &$write , array &$except , int $tv_sec [, int $tv_usec = 0 ] )
The tv_sec and tv_usec together form the timeout parameter. The timeout is an upper bound on the amount of time elapsed before socket_select() return. tv_sec may be zero , causing socket_select() to return immediately. This is useful for polling. If tv_sec is NULL (no timeout), socket_select() can block indefinitely.

May be you are right. socket_select() description from php site is not clear for me. Now I change it this way:

The problem is that it seems to send the timeout in milliseconds, but the fourth parameter actually expects timeout in seconds.
Yes, I understand that, I was proposing what it will be changed to, splitting the timeout in ms, into seconds and microseconds components before passing it to the select call.
