[Xitami] VISTA

[Russel Olinger]

I am running 2.4d9 on a Windows 2k3 advanced server, prior to that the same 
version was running on W2K Server - on both OSs I rarely ever encountered 
Xitami hangs or service reloads.  And most of thhose were the CGI 
interpreter causing Perl errors (typically due to server load issues) that 
would knock things off line.

However, I do have the 'auto-restart' option enabled in the Xitami .cfg file 
and I also have the the Windows Service set to restart in case of a service 
hang/failure.  But for the most part, my Xitami logs go months before they 
are recylced due to a service restart.  If anything, the majority of my 
problems were related to Windows OS itself hanging and causing a system 
reboot.
