Howdy folks, I've been admining debian servers for a few years now and this problem is a new one on me. I have the standard apache-ssl setup with logrotate handling standard logrotation of about 115 virtual hosts in /var/log/httpd/. for the first 3 months or so everything went fine at the monthly log rotation, however for the last 2 months apache-ssl has failed to restart after logrotation.
The last time this happened, I found the apache parent gone, with several children straggling around. I couldn't just issue an /etc/init.d/apache-ssl start, but had to manually kill the children first. There is simply nothing in the logs (well, nothing in /var/log/apache-ssl logs and the most active virtual host, but I did not check all virtual host logs) has anyone seen this before? oh, system is Debian/Woody on a PIII/1.2G 2G-RAM with plenty of disk space. any ideas would be greatly appreciated! thanks, Dave -- ******************************* David Wilk System Administrator Community Internet Access, Inc.
