We are running apache 1.3.29on a new server, for some unknown reason we
can not get any cgi or perl scripts to run. My first thought is it is
due to apache chroot the /var/www directory, Is this the case if so how
can i fix it.

we also are having issues with php sites staying connected to a my sql
db we get a sql db not available error.

I am totally lost on these issues. I would greatly appreciate any
i can get with these issues.

Thanks

John

Config changes, or in the case of suexec, a little source code tweaking,
can take care of this.

Since making the connection and logging adds some lag, it is desireable
to cache connections. You want this to happen. The idea is to configure
everything so the number of PHP sessions that can be active does not exceed
the number of connections MySQL is configured to accept. You probably need
to raise the latter value a lot.

Sounds to me like you need to hire a webmaster/dba/sysadmin part time.
