I am running Apache on FreeBSD 2.1.5. When some of my perl scripts run as cgi's, I get a fork error. Usually: couldn't spawn child process or cannot fork The server is started as root and runs as the user www. When I start the server I start it with the "unlimit" command. csh -c "unlimit; /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd" Can anyone help me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
