Sorry for not replying before. I was out in the mountains working. Yes: new copy and restarting. Still the same problem. I can't get rid of it. I just keep restarting every time it hangs.

A: I know it because of the ZoneAlarm Firewall. It warns exactly that. Apache.exe wants to connect to the internet, the ip it wants that sometimes resolved to akamai. C: Yes. Many times. D: SELECT ... JOIN, the usual. E: All I have is US. I have 3 or 4 copies with diffeent setups though. Thanks again for your help and sorry to have bothered you on msn. But I realy need to get this working and I don't know what else to do.

I've been using US for a couple of years now and never had any problems. I just use it for local testing with minimal modification of US default's httpd.conf and php.ini files Yesterday I started having this problem: After refreshing a page several times the server hangs. I'd presume that the problem is mySql related since it seems to happen only on pages that query the db. Apache and mySql processes still show in tasks. Using stop.bat works but a few times I had to manually end the mySql process. Then, start server and mySql and it's all the same again. I tried all sort of things to the point I am completely confused. Tried: Uninstalling last window updates KB929338 and KB929399. First I thaught that was the reason since apparently all had started after the upgrade. Downloading a fresh copy from the site. I also noticed something I hadn't seen before. There are 2 instances of apache.exe in the tasks list. Is this normal? And something else. When refreshing the pages apache.exe tries to connect to the internet to servers like akamai. Why is this? I thoroughly scanned my computer for trojans, spyware and viruses and all appears to be clean. I'm lost and desperate. Please help. And thanks for this great tool I can't work without. F
