Confirmed the fix - we no longer see any errors saying " request failed: error reading the headers" - and all the web pages work as expected. I searched the internet for weeks looking for that message, and failed, until I added ubuntu to the search - and found this thread - this was a huge fix for us - thank you.
For anyone looking to fix the same issue, here are the steps I used: echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-proposed restricted main multiverse universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list cat > /etc/apt/preferences Package: * Pin: release a=lucid-security Pin-Priority: 990 Package: * Pin: release a=lucid-updates Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=lucid-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 (control-D to end) Then aptitude install apache2/lucid-proposed Don't pick the first solution, but instead pick the following one: Upgrade the following packages: apache2-mpm-worker [2.2.14-5ubuntu8.2 (lucid-updates, lucid-security, now) -> 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 (lucid-proposed)] apache2-threaded-dev [2.2.14-5ubuntu8.2 (lucid-updates, lucid-security, now) -> 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 (lucid-proposed)] apache2.2-bin [2.2.14-5ubuntu8.2 (lucid-updates, lucid-security, now) -> 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 (lucid-proposed)] apache2.2-common [2.2.14-5ubuntu8.2 (lucid-updates, lucid-security, now) -> 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 (lucid-proposed)] Score is 53 Then the install will show: The following packages will be upgraded: apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-threaded-dev apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common Now be sure you have the right stuff: r...@ubuntu:/etc/apt# dpkg -l | grep apach ii apache2 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-mpm-worker 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 Apache HTTP Server - high speed threaded model ii apache2-threaded-dev 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 Apache development headers - threaded MPM ii apache2-utils 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.2 utility programs for webservers ii apache2.2-bin 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 Apache HTTP Server common binary files ii apache2.2-common 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.3 Apache HTTP Server common files If you see 8.3, then you have the new code...
