'Error - server couldn't spawn child process' in my apache logs. Then sure enough I check to see if CGI's are working and they are all dead. The server is a high load web hosting machine and has 256MB of RAM, the processor load is only ever at 2-3%. IS there anyplace special that I need to look at or modify to make this thing handle more processes without quiting on me. One small note to this problem... When I stop and then restart the Apache server the problem will go away for about 20 minutes and then come back. It doesn't seem to effect anything on the system but the running of CGI processes.
