problem with php/lsws restart

[ts77]

Hi there,

my problem is only partly lsws-related but I guess you can help most in this case.

First my configuration, I'm running lsws with php-fcgi on one machine and the database-server on another one.
Two days ago my database-server went down and needed a reboot.
Lsws/PHP seems to have timed out while that was the case.

Still even as the db-server got up again it still returned the timeout.
Seems like the php-children have still been busy/hanging in some strange state.
I needed to stop lsws, manually kill the php-processes (lsws wasn't able to do this and was hanging too because of that) and restart lsws to get it running again.

Anyone ever seen such a problem? Any idea on how to work around it?

Thanks,

Thomas
