Apache 2.2.11 and "Allow service to interact with desktop"

Hello:

I have a weird problem with Apache and Windows 2003 Server that I =
haven't been able to figure out:

HP Proliant DL580 G5
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64
Apache 2.2.11

With that configuration, if I double-click "My PC", "Manage" and I go to =
"Disk manage", an error is given: "Unable to connect to logical disk =
manager"

The weird thing is that if I check the "Allow service to interact with =
desktop" checkbox in the properties of the Apache2.2 service, the =
problem is solved. =BF? The new problem now is that when connecting to =
the machine via Terminal Server with the /console parameter, a lot of =
cmd windows appear, due to the rotatelogs.=20

I hope someone could give me some clue about the dependencies between =
Apache and Logical disk manager, and/or an alternative to rotatelog.exe, =
in order to eliminate those annoying cmd windows. I tried mod_log_rotate =
but it didn't work properly with the error log.

Thank you very much.

Hello:

I tried with the last httpd.exe (2.2.14) and I had the same problem: I =
had to check the "Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox in =
the properties of the Apache2.2 service in order to get the Logical disk =
manager working. So I change the subject of the mail.

Thank you.

Hello:

We found the problem.=20

We have a lot of virtual hosts, which are launching a lot of =
rotatelog.exe processes, which are consuming so much memory that the =
desktop heap is getting exhausted. About desktop heap:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/01/04/desktop -heap-overvie=
w.aspx

By default, it seems that Windows 2003 Server x64 allows 768 KB for the =
desktop heap associated with the non-interactive processes, and 20480 KB =
for the desktop heap associated with the interactive processes. This =
way, by allowing Apache to interact with the desktop, what we are really =
achieving is giving more memory to the rotatelog.exe processes to =
consume. Desktop heap is not exhausted and the problems are gone. Of =
course, the problem is that this way we see a lot of cmd windows in the =
desktop, because now they "are" interactive. The real solution is =
changing the following registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session =
Manager\SubSystems\Windows

The default data for this registry contains:

SharedSection=3D1024,20480,768

The second value is for interactive processes, and the third value is =
for the non-interactive processes, so we have to increase the third =
value.

Desktop heap can be monitorized with Microsoft's Desktop Heap Monitor:

I hope this will help someone else.

Best regards.
