 Check the min and max number of processes that you have configured. If they are the same, and you reach the maximum, I've seen OWS2.1 get stuck. It can't spawn a new process and doesn't know what to do. If you have min=2 and max=10, for example, though, the problem won't occur. Received on Tue May 26 1998 - 19:26:09 CDT
