httpd.exe is sending endlessly
Posted: 08. September 2011 10:11
Hi,
there seems to be a problem with our Webserver. It is publishing a small online order system and the creator of this system is not any more available. I've never had anything to do with xampp and web systems at all. The problem: Network traffic on the web server is up to 100 percent of capacity and congesting the rest of the network when httpd.exe process is running (there are two of them). When I start "Apache Monitor" it shows that the system "Apache 2.2" is running. If I stop "Apache 2.2" these two httpd.exe processes disappear and network traffice goes down to zero.
Is it possible to someone like me without any practice in this system to repair that? Or do we have to look for professional aid? For now this system is on hold and I hope no one is trying to access it too soon...
Would be great if someone could answer this or even present some tricks I could try to find out what's going on.
Regards,
Stefano
