I have a web server that runs RedHat 3.0.3, Linux 2.0.24, and Apache
1.1.1. It gets an average of about 40,000 hits a day. I haven't had a
bit of trouble with Apache, except when I try to use the optional status
and info modules (they will cause Apache to hang). The server does not
allow server-side CGI includes. What modules are you using with Apache?
