OK, I know I'm going to regret this, but... Given this thread (and others like it on Midrange and Ignite) can someone please explain to me again why having one iSeries box (you know the one that never crashes) as my web server is better than a farm of cheap Linux or Windows Intel boxes serving your web? This isn't the first time (more like 10+) that people have complained about the stability of the iSeries as a web server. Why do people keep using it? Aren't Bob, Bleddyn, David, Andrew, etc. supposed to be the experts at this? If they have such a problem, what't up? I love the stability of the iSeries for database and green screen, but I must say that I think web serving is best left to web servers that have millions of installations. -Walden PS. Andrew, your just the lucky post I'm replying to, my comments apply to the entire thread. ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

This is a common problem with HTTP server classic (I don't know if it happens on Apache) on an AS/400... The 400 takes connections and then instead of answering, it starts failing, and instead of answering slowly - it craps out... The pattern is CPU usage is THROUGH the roof while the world creams us, then CPU usage drops to almost nothing, while the system TCP/IP connections rise un-answered. It then (after about 2 minutes or so) comes back to life, but it's not the same - you then END & restart the server and it works again. This was something I noticed with a HIGH volume hitting fast and furious.

Strange thing is the site is up, and accepting connections. However it doesn't respond. Anyone know (remember) what machine type it was running? -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
