Hi there, I run PHP as CGI (because of suEXEC), but some configuration must be wrong. I just tried out to reload a PHP generated website about 20 or 30 times in my browser, and this really bogged down the server, I had a load of about 20 or 30. Is there anything I can do to limit this risk? I already fiddled around with some configuration variables, but it didn't help. It always created a whole lot of CGI childs that used up all memory... I run Apache 2.0 on Linux 2.4. Thanks! Florian
