I recently ran the Redhat network agent. It downloaded 340+ errata, a couple of them affected apache. I noticed some strange behavior. A few of the errata failed to be applied. There were some dependency issues with them. One of the failures were related to an apache errata. After a couple of hours i was not able to connect to apache on port 80 via a web browser. It just hung and never returened a Http response. So i logged onto the remote server and telneted to the port 80 locally (telnet localhost 80). Surprisingly i got connected to port 80. I issues the following command 'GET HTTP/1.0' followed by CRLF, i got no response. That got me suspicious so on closer examination i saw that a process called 'update' was running under the user apache. So what i tried first was to restart apache. Well that did nothing. So when i killed this 'update' process and restarted apache , bang my server was up and my web server was listening on port 80. My question is what was this strange behavior that i experienced? Has anybody seen this before? Can anybody provide some light on this? Thanks, --Kapil
