We have a machine (FreeBSD) set up running Apache to dish up 'normal' websites on port 80, and we have been developing a couple of Zope based Intranet type sites, so we have ZServer running on its default port of 8080. We're using Apache mod-rewrite to transaprently proxy Zope request to the ZServer. All is sweet. That is until a request that ties ZServer up for a period of time is closely followed by a second request - the result from Apache is a 'proxy error' - i.e. there was no server visible to respond to the second proxy request. Running ps -aux only ever shows two Zope processes, no matter how hard one is working. Isn't there supposed to be a monitor process running which forks new processes when existing ones get busy, like Apache does? Both Apache and Zope were installed from FreeBSD Ports using default startup scripts. Advice gratefully received. Jim Whiteside.
