10.4: Force use of launchd for upgraded installs
Authored by: robtain on May 16, '05 01:11:06PM

Hi geohar,

I tried your tip and while my system seems to be running and most services are there, finding my localhost web site by using the Bonjour name seems to take forever (i.e. several minutes) while using the IP address results in instantaneous loading of the site.

Any ideas?

Rob

10.4: Force use of launchd for upgraded installs
Authored by: geohar on May 16, '05 01:32:53PM
Not quite sure why that would be. mDNSResponder (the bonjour service dns agent) is always run from launchd - there was no xinetd equivalent, so the hint shouldn't have affected it. Apache itself is also always run as a startup item (/System/Library/StartupItems/Apache) I don't think it's requests are ever serviced by launchd in the current 10.4.0 for efficiency reasons.

Have you restarted?

Might also be worth looking in top at any processes which are taking up cpu time when you do a lookup.
