FRED and Apache 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04

People: A nagging problem we had when we migrated FRED to Ubuntu 14.04 (until a couple of weeks ago we ran 2.22 on Ubuntu 12.04) was that, suddenly, Apache connections gave us a CLOSE_WAIT, not a clean closing of the connection. This gave us a real headache with both our whois server and our EPP server. The solution?. Well, simply uninstall the mpm_event Apache module and install the mem_prefork one: a2dismod mpm_event a2enmod mem_prefork service apache2 restart I hope this helps the people using FRED under Ubuntu 14.04 experiencing a similar problem. ------------ Mario Guerra NIC-CR
