"Cannot find server" Random

[Deleted]

Building an app that runs under mod_perl and have been experiencing some issues with DNS? "Cannot find server".

The situation is when I click on .cgi's throughout the website I occasionally experience this error. After the occurs I refresh the same page and it works.

I know that DNS is set-up properly.

Each occurance is very random and there are no errors in apache log to diagnose the issue.

Anyone have similiar problems?

Currently running Apache 1.29, mod_perl 1.29 with modules:

Apache::Request
Apache::Sesison
Apache:BI
Template::Toolkit

Do you get a chance to watch your errorlog when this happens? Internet Explorer will make a dead connection look like a 'cannot find server' sometimes.

What happens with Mozilla?

Dead connection is probably caused by an httpd child exiting prematurely, your errorlogs should speak to this.

Try adding the following to your httpd.conf:

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*"          nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown          downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

IE doesn't speak HTTP fluently, and thus Apache needs to speak down to it. This may or may not be the cause of your problem.

Oh yea, forgot about that one. We had to do that on our servers as well.
