Re: [gentoo-dev] Performance Apache/PHP / PHP-Problem

[Benjamin Podszun]

Thanks.. Stupid me, I should've formatted it before I ask for help.
But I'm really quite annoyed already.. I cannot find any difference
between the Debian Installation that worked for about a year and this
Gentoo 1.4 . I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere, but I've no idea where
to start the search.

KeepAlive is already disabled.
The "W" states that it is currently responding to a request, right? I
used KeepAlive before, but a keepalive-State would be a "K" in the
"M"-Column.

PHP connections can only be persistant for Databases, afaik?
However: We don't use persistant connections and I just disabled them
completely.

No ideas what else I could turn off right now. :(
