Step #1 - Look in the message log (/var/log/messages), and ideally a copy of the console output, to see why you server stopped running. (or if your server stopped running) The latter is important because your server can seem to be "down" when the problem is actually you cannot connect to it (the network is down). If you can log into your server and get a shell prompt, then I would try the command uptime(1) first, to see how long the server thinks its been running, and then start looking at /var/log/messages for reboot messages, and /var/crash for kernel coredumps (if you panic, and have savecore set, it will create a core file there) --Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hello, > What is the output of uname -a? FreeBSD cp.laws.ms 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0: Fri May 23 11:13:23 CDT 2003 > Are you patched to the latest security release for 4.8 (p.16 or so)? PHP has been causing people problems lately (see the archives for this list back 30-60 days), could it be biting you? The symptoms sound similar (apache crashing the system). I have checked the dmesg and I found this pid 96448 (httpd), uid 398: exited on signal 6 So, I check the apache error log, and I found this warning repeat many times [warn] child process x did not exit, sending another SIGHUP After that, apache restart. Then another 5 minutes, the servers offline. So, I think you may be right, since I just recompile PHP with lastest PHP stable version (4.3.5). I will search the mail archive now. Thank you for everyone help. You all are very knowledgeable.

Re: Server down regularly
Hello, From the "messages" log, the error I found: /kernel: arplookup xx.xx.xx.xx failed: host is not on local network And warning I got /kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted The first is I have got the wrong netmask, but the error is always in the log and i don't think it is the problem. The second one is just because I issued a reboot from my apc reboot interface. Also, I shouldn't say regularly, it should be frequently. It has been 4 times this weeks. > Do you feel that it is very secure? Anyone else > have access to this box? I am not sure it is very secure and, yes, other people can access but not root access.
