The mimiSQL server is running as "nobody" One word: /etc/login.conf According to the information you supplied, you have gobs of free resources, but /etc/login.conf sets limits on how much users can use. Put the attached cgi script in your cgi-bin and call it. It will report limits that the web server is running under. The limits specified under "daemon" in /etc/login.conf are in effect when /etc/rc is run, which I presume is when you are starting apache and friends. You probably need to boost the number of processes that daemon can run. Resource limits are inherited and don't change unless explicitly changed by the process. Init sets the limits according to the daemon entry in /etc/login.conf when running /etc/rc. Thus, httpd daemons started by boot by root running as nobody inherit the limits for daemon. -john --0-720294148-891614089=:357 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name=env Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: <Pine.BSF.3.96.980403093449.357J@fallout.campusview.indiana.edu> Content-Description: env IyEvYmluL3NoDQoNCiMNCiMgUHJpbnQgc29tZSBpbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBhYm91 dCB0aGUgb3BlcmF0aW5nIGVudmlyb25tZW50DQojIG9mIHRoZSBodHRwZCBk YWVtb24gYW5kIHRoZSBjZ2kgc2NyaXB0cyBpdCBydW5zLg0KIw0KDQplY2hv ICJDb250ZW50LXR5cGU6IHRleHQvcGxhaW4iDQplY2hvICIiDQoNCmVjaG8g IkkgYW06Ig0KaWQNCg0KZWNobyAiIg0KZWNobyAiTGltaXRzOiINCnVsaW1p dCAtYQ0KDQplY2hvICIiDQplY2hvICJFbnZpcm9ubWVudDoiDQplbnYNCg0K ZWNobyAiIg0KZWNobyAiVXB0aW1lOiINCnVwdGltZQ0KDQoNCg== --0-720294148-891614089=:357-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
