I am currently running apache 1.0.5, and have just downloaded version 1.1.1 from the source -- http://www.apache.org -- it's only been up as a release for about a week. Anyway, check the error log entries on timeouts against the corresponding entries in the main access log. I can think of a few reasons for send timeouts, depending on how busy your site is and what capacity you have. Such as: Too many accesses in a short period of time, especially with limited bandwidth, might cause some packets to get lost and never be acknowledged. If you have the bandwidth and capacity, maybe increasing the max number of child server processes could help. If the client disconnected without getting a "stop" request to your server, you should see a timeout. Before I speculate further, I'd need to know a bit more. How often do these timeouts occur? At any particular time of day? What's your average load, and what's your load when the timeout occurs? Match up the timestamps in your error log and your access log. Do the timeouts occur from a single domain? Maybe a single user? In any case, the more information you can get from your log files, the easier it will be to narrow down the source of your problem.
