Apache proccess get stucked with the status W

[edgardnog]

Hi,

We are having a strange problem. We don´t know why, but the Apache proccess get stucked with the status W ("Sending Reply), so the process don´t die and apache "crash" because a lot of process. When this happens i just restart the Apache and the proccess stop to get the W status, and everything starts to work fine again.

This problems happens a lot of times during the day, so it happen when we are geting a lot of traffic and when we are getting low traffic (we don´t have bandwith problems), when the load or the server is normaly low and we are not getting problems with the Mysql.

We run our site with
linux: Gentoo
Apache
php + Mysql.

Can anyone help me with this?

sory for my bad english :)

Sound like you need some help from a linux command line expert to identify all the 'tools' you can use to see what processes (and applications) may be hanging...
