WampServer

HI,

everything was running lovely for years here. Then after a vasta security updater apache is locking up every few minutes.

error log is as below

Hi,

In httpd.conf file, just before # Supplemental configuration insert :

# AcceptFilter: On Windows, none uses accept() rather than AcceptEx() and
# will not recycle sockets between connections. This is useful for network
# adapters with broken driver support, as well as some virtual network
# providers such as vpn drivers, or spam, virus or spyware filters.
AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none

hi Otomatic and thanks.

I have put these line in where you said and will try WAMP out at greater length tomorrow.

Can I ask you for a biot of detail what you think the issue with appache is?

thanks

Hi,

Read the comments above the line AcceptFilter http none in my previous message and compare with the apache error you have :
The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

Hi again,

Similar issues again now. Apache will stop working regularly and windows will say:

Apache HTTP Server stopped working and was closed

It will then seem to start working ok again after the windows error message box is closed!

I assume you have not removed the 2 parameters that you added before?

Also I would be tempted to fix the SSL warning generated when Apache starts up i.e. this one

[Thu Feb 05 12:15:44.691816 2015] [ssl:warn] [pid 4520:tid 308] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

This may help [wiki.apache.org]

Thanks for your help.

I have attemped adding 3 different version from [httpd.apache.org] sessioncache one at a time to the httpd.conf file.



SSLSessionCache none
SSLSessionCache c: ... /apache/logs/ssl_gcache_data
SSLSessionCache c: ... /apache/logs/ssl_gcache_data(512000)

all still result in the below apache error

[Fri Feb 06 14:25:13.055099 2015] [ssl:warn] [pid 6048:tid 240] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

Have also tried to enable:

<IfModule mod_status.c>
#
# Allow server status reports generated by mod_status,
# with the URL of [servername]
# Change the ".example.com" to match your domain to enable.
#
ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Location>
</IfModule>

Which then tells me

403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /server-status on this server

Further help required pls.

Do you have

LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so

without a comment in your httpd.conf file?

Thanks for your reply. Yes this apache module is enabled.

#LoadModule socache_dbm_module modules/mod_socache_dbm.so
#LoadModule socache_memcache_module modules/mod_socache_memcache.so
LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so

any other possible solutions please im getting pretty desperate now?

What else have you tried?
