I couldn't see anything that screamed what the problem was, but I restarted httpd and it seems to be better. Overseers: in case it helps, I stored "lsof -i" at the time of the problem to /tmp/lsofi. Load was normal. No obvious problems in the httpd logs except lots of these sorts of errors in error_log: [Tue Sep 25 10:27:20 2007] [warn] FastCGI: server "/wiki/moin.fcg" has failed to remain running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to 600 seconds This seems like it could be a symptom rather than a cause to me though. On startup, it rapidly reported: [Tue Sep 25 10:27:37 2007] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting which isn't so good. Again symptom rather than cause - the question is what's making processes (presumably wiki processes?) last so long. The logs don't seem to show higher than normal wiki activity. Also, two other errors were reported: [Tue Sep 25 10:27:25 2007] [error] FastCGI: access for server (uid -1, gid -1) failed: write not allowed [Tue Sep 25 10:27:25 2007] [error] FastCGI: can't create dynamic directory "/etc/httpd/logs/fastcgi/dynamic": access for server (uid -1, gid -1) failed: write not allowed That directory does exist, owned by apache.
