The server hung up again since Sunday evening. I asked the technician who attended on the server as we conversed via phone and he relayed that the server is no longer responding, the screen displayes "call trace", "journal remove" and kernel thread" messages along with what I believe were core dumps.
Does it mean the system hung due to running out of physical memory? If memory resource exhaustion is the reason, what could be the cuplrit? This server was running OK from November last year up until around late February this year, then exhibited this behavior. Worse, this seems to be getting more often, it happened just last week. Would running both web and database in a server cause this? Last year, the database server hanged. Could it be that the database is the choke point? The PHP scripts accessing it were written in a way that only one persistent connection is used by all sessions, and I believe there's no script in there written to close any opened connection. Could this be the problem? This database server was installed from i686 RPM, I downloaded the binary package straight from the database server's home site (mirrored in Asia via Japan). Is there also a possibility that PHP scripts accessing data from the database server drive that server out of memory or just drive it crazy? I'm basically a newbie on these possibilities and could use all the help I can get. Thank you very much in advance.
