oracle ias problem

Hello,

I am running oracle ias 8, which uses apache. Every 5 seconds exactly, like clockwork,

[Tue Nov 13 15:15:40 2001] [error] [client 10.10.10.8] Directory index forbidden by rule: /disk1/u01/websites/

is appended to my error_log. My access log appends:

10.10.10.8 - - [13/Nov/2001:15:17:20 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 260

every 5 seconds as well.

To make matters worse, every couple of days, when I do a netstat -a, I get a TON of TIME_WAITs coming from a server that the JSP files on the apache server machine query, thus bringing any activity requiring a query to a halt. When it is not loaded with TIME_WAITs from that machine, it is loaded with TIME_WAITs from itself:

mccoy.7777 mccoy.36828 24820 0 24820 0 TIME_WAIT
localhost.36829 localhost.8007 32768 0 32768 0 TIME_WAIT Note: mccoy, is the localhost.

Other than the queries coming to a halt, without explicit restarting of the server, the servers load seems to be way too high for a machine that really is just running apache

  3:23pm up 225 day(s), 6:36, 2 users, load average: 1.96, 1.96, 1.95

and it is

  SunOS mccoy 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80

I have gone up and down the documentation and have search google like mad, if anyone could help me solve any of these problems, I would appreciate it very much.

If at all possible, please e-mail any tips.
