Hi Christophe,

So are you saying that the 64 file descriptors is still an issue in FC 
and other modern Linux distros?


Can you explain how the single logfile system works, I understand that 
all the virtual servers will log to one file..

Then I have to use a utility to seperate the single log file to seperate 
the single file to seperate log files..

Where do you get the utility to split the logfiles?? The split-logfile 
as mentioned on the apache site does not appear to be installed with 
apache on FC or RH..

When the files get split do they over write the previous one?

How do you handle log rotation?

Thanks..
