It works like a champ for serving straight HTML files quickly,> but for any pages that include images, only smaller images are> displayed successfully (albeit slowly).  Larger images displayD partially and then hang, or I get an error similar to the following:  A The image "http://192.168.1.78/spitfire.jpg" cannot be displayed,  because it contains errors.   C I just had to reboot to install the VMS732_UPDATE V3.0 patch suite. F Following the reboot, I was able to successfully display spitfire.jpg,G which is 771 blocks.  Another image in the same directory that is about G 3700 blocks won't display.  I started a new browser session and now the F 771 block spitfire.jpg image won't display.  I've flushed the logs andA there is nothing noted in the error_log.  In fact, the access_log E indicates both files were delivered OK (status code is 200) or should G be available in cache (status code = 304, not modified).  I see similar G behavior trying to view images with Netscape 7.2 or IE 6.  I can use an @ FTP client on my PC and the images transfer to my PC and displayB properly without incident, so I'm confident the files don't reallyA contain errors as indicated by the "cannot be displayed" message.   A I've reviewed the httpd.conf file carefully and made only minimal D changes to the template provided with the installation kit.  I'm notG sure where else to look to explain the behavior I'm seeing.  My initial  questions are:  A Anyone else using CSWS V2.0 with MultiNet V5.0 on OpenVMS V7.3-2?   , If so, any problems displaying large images?  D If not, any suggestions what logs or configuration settings I shouldD review to understand and resolve this problem?  It seems to me thereF some kind of MultiNet setting involved since CSWS access_log indicates+ all images have been provided successfully.  Thanks,   

Then if I reboot the server via a vt510 connected on the) console port DEC windows works perfectly.   A I have installed VMS taking all the defaults but initializing the C disk.  I have installed no layered products or patches.  I have not 9 modified any startup files or configured DECnet or TCPIP.   E I have installed the hobbyist base VMS licence and dw-motif licence.    E I have added MIN_GBLSECTIONS=1000 to modparams.dat and run autogen to ? remove the message about global sections on the booting of VMS.   D I have compared the DEC windows server error logs to see if there is? any differences between the one created on power up and the one F created after the software reboot.  There are no apparent differences.  F This occurs each time I boot my alpha server from power up.  But works perfectly after the reboot.   ( Does anyone know what is causing this?    A What information would be useful to track down the source of this  problem?   Wow - google has changed?????    Dugald   ------------------------------  % Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2004 16:44:12 -0800 # From: "Dish" <imdishking@yahoo.com> 
