I'm using RH 9 and Apache 2.0.40. It works fairly well with most browsers remotely - though there may be the memory leak problem. But I have another more dramatic and reproducible problem: If I check out the interface from my GF's mac (OS 9) the server dumps. There's not much in the log files to indicate what's happening but the following. Anyone have any thoughts?

below are extracts from various logs just around the browse of death. It looks like it's causing an init "x" to respawn too fast - although that error came up as I tried to force a reboot after the server went down. Curious....

RE: Feb 10 23:50:08 init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

This is due to a improperly configured X-Windows. One easy way to solve this is to change your default startup mode from X Windows to Console. Edit /etc/inittab and change the line
> id:5:initdefault:
to
> id:3:initdefault:
Each time you login you'll have to run 'startx'. If you don't want to do this, look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log and see what is causing your X Windows to not startup.


RE: Memory Leaks
I've posted on this thread how to update Apache to 2.0.45+
http://www.zoneminder.com/forum_general ... 2bea697009

Also, I've been able to verify that the latest Redhat httpd-2.0.40-21.9 has fixed the memory leak. This is the version you'll get when you run up2date.
