Apache Error Messages

I'm running Apache 2.0.55 now instead of IIS 5.1. (Hold the applause.)

But now, I'm getting the following error messages in my log file:

[Fri Mar 10 18:22:53 2006] [warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
[Fri Mar 10 18:22:53 2006] [warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

My best gues at this point is Message #3 at this url:

#
# EnableMMAP: Control whether memory-mapping is used to deliver
# files (assuming that the underlying OS supports it).
# The default is on; turn this off if you serve from NFS-mounted
# filesystems. On some systems, turning it off (regardless of
# filesystem) can improve performance; for details, please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#enablemmap
#
EnableMMAP Off

# Also added this one as per Apache directions
# http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/#xpbug

Win32DisableAcceptEx

#
# EnableSendfile: Control whether the sendfile kernel support is
# used to deliver files (assuming that the OS supports it).
# The default is on; turn this off if you serve from NFS-mounted
# filesystems. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#enablesendfile
#
EnableSendfile Off

I got tired of seeing these messages about the robots.txt file, so I created one as described at
http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/robotstxt.shtml

This is my robots.txt file:

User-agent: *
Disallow:


The biggest concern I'm facing now is that I get error messages like these in my log:

I have not seen the dreadful "winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed." entry in my log files after I made the same configuration chages to my Apache 2.0.55 a few weeks ago.

Congrats for moving to Apache.

Thanks Uzi. Glad to know I'm not alone on this. :)
