I have IBM's HTTPServer running on a B50. First of the month the server gets pretty busy and occasionally we get an "Internal Server Error" and the following message in the error_log:
Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child process: /usr/lpp.....
The file is there! CPU > 60% idle. Lots of RAM (1G). rss and nofiles in /etc/security/limits have not been touched (still set to unlimited).
'nobody' is still running the web server. MaxRequestsPerChild set to 10000. MaxClients 250. httpd processes at that time < 130. Almost no swapping.
I'm stuck and open for ideas.....
