Re: SV: [PHP4BETA] php 4 smp problem

We could try to find out if it's a smp related bug or a bug related to high load. I'm serving about 65.000 php pages a day, does anyone without smp (on Linux) serve that many or more php pages without getting the random crash of httpd? Dont know if this info would be useful, if not just ignore this :P -------------------------------- Johan Isacsson Generatorhallen On Mon, 3 Jan 2000, Johan Ekenberg wrote: > > I just want to know if anyone have looked at the problem with using php4 > > on a smp box (it segfaults apache).
