Hi Monks!

I have a perl sript ticketing system that is admittedly old but works perfect for our company. Recently, we started getting ERROR 503 messages on our website and it goes away in about 30 minutes. I reached out to the server admins and they responded with the following

While revising this case our administrators have noticed you script is using socket connections which not completely closed and error similar to arises:

AH02833: ScriptSock /var/run/cgid.sock.23916 does not exist:

since the script attempts to reference to previous non existing socket previously used and the error noticed arises. We can not offer debugging of the scripts although and you should check with your website developers what socket connections are used, how are these closed and why the processes reference to an old connection so they could avoid that for your script.

I've Googled around about this and went through my scripts trying to figure out anything that has changed but I come up blank. Anyone have any clues on what this really means so that I can hunt down the problem and fix it?

Thanks, Mark T.
