timeout error in D7-10 - support

25 Jan 2012


      I've got an installation of Drupal 7.10 where I routinely get this error:
Connection timed out: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in  
handle_request function, referer: http://ecobc.net/
The referer is correct. I don't know where to look for the mod_fcgid  
handle request error. I suspect a resource shortage but would be happy  
to have suggestions for where to look or what to do. The error above  
in the apache log gives a 500 error on the user screen.
