OFF TOPIC

Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6 is no logner a supported product. It hasn't been for almost 2 years now.

The memory leak is a well documented problem. It first reared it's ugly head in 3.4. An attempt was made to fix it in 3.5, which was much worse. 3.6 introduced dxwdog which is supposed to be a watchdog script that looks for this very problem. I suggest looking to that & tweaking.

As a web software developer and engineer, my professional advice to you is to move to a supported platform. Even a move to Apache at this time would be far better in terms of performance and stability. The costs associated with that are labor. There's no GUI to configure Apache unless you use something like Tk/Apache a.k.a. Mohawk.

I suggest this since you mentioned that you are only serving static pages for the most part. If you were using LiveWire I'd suggest looking at Resin.

I know that you're trying to solve what appears to be a simple problem. You are not the first one to attempt this.

Migrate/Update!!



Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!
