[WAS5] ibm http server problem

[Anonymous]

Hello
Yesterday I have deployed my application and used the IBMHttp server with default configuration (port 80). I've regenerate the plugin in websphere.
but when I test my application through port 80, I have very often "Internal server error".
If I refresh the page, the error disapear.
There is no trace of this error in the logs.
Sometimes, some pictures are missing, and same solution: F5 (refresh) and hop! the picture is there!
Very strange and very boring.
if you could help me , that's very urgent, thanks

Jose,
We observed similar errors when we were had WebSphere and IBM HTTP Server on different machines.
The following were our observations:
a. The plug-in file had to be FTP'ed or copied across to the machine running the HTTP server.
b. If any patch sets were installed on WebSphere, then the same had to be installed on the HTTP servers as well. There are some shared object libraries which need updating on the HTTP server in most of the patch releases.
I might be able to give you more info if you can give me more details.
best regards,
prasad

thanks
the ibm and was server are on the same machine.
But maybe must I put the plugin.xml generated somewhere in the ibmhttps directories?
I have installed the fixpack .01 on the both servers.
In fact when we restart the http server, during a time everthing is fine, but progressivly, we have more and more error 500.
here is the http.cong if it could help:

what about the afpa setting in the httpd.conf file? I did not see any entries for that in the conf file. Generally we keep all afpa related entries commented out, cause that has proven to be quite notorious and has caused us problems in the past.
