If you do not need it, do not install it

After i have upgrade the database from 9.0.1.4 to 9.2.0.8, which is used for E-Business Suite 11.5.10, I choose to install the HTTP Server, actually it’s not required.

Problem comes…..

“iostat -xnp 5 100″ indicates that average service time for disk is 400MS, what is the cause? software raid? bug? hardware fault?

After one week, I have noticed that http process is running as the database owner, when i check the error log, the pizzle is solved.

Every 2 seconds, coredump is generated by apachectl process. After stop the Apache JServer, problem solved.

2 things can be learned here:
a) Every issue gets reason/cause.
b) If the feature is not going to used in any case, do not install it.

I have searched this message in metalink also, a few bugs/mis-configuration caused that.
