Hi, sometimes my apache stops for a short moment maybe a minute or 2 and than everything gets back to normal !

when i checked the error log it gave me :

>> httpd: module "mod_alias.c" could not be loaded, because the dynamic
>> module limit was reached. Please increase DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT and recompile.

could somone please tell me the cause and the solution to how to increase the limit !!

thank youuu , oh and im on a WHM-CPANEL server

You'll need to edit your httpd.h file and recompile.

Are you sure that the error message is reported at the same time that you're having problems?

yes im sure
Do you mean to reinstall apache ?

and what should i do by editing the httpd.h

thank you

this is the exact lines from my error_log

httpd: module "mod_alias.c" could not be loaded, because the dynamic
module limit was reached. Please increase DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT and recompile.

In the httpd.h file you'll an entry like this:


/* Max. number of dynamically loaded modules */
#ifndef DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT
#define DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT 64
#endif

Change that number to something like 80.

You may want to contact cpanel support desk, because looks like you're having major problems with your apache config.

sanam,

we took care of it :)
we reinstalled apache
