I have a SUSE 9.1 apache web server that hangs once or twice a week with out any errors. This system is one out of 15 servers that are Identical to each other.
For now it is running with out any problem, however I have not been able to fix the problem. The only thing I have found is that the server is running an older kernel than all the other server. I cannot see this being the problem, but somethime you never know.
This system is running kernel version 2.6.4-52-smp
All the other servers are running 2.6.5-7.104-smp
Apache Version apache-1.3.33-xxx
Once the system gets rebooted everything starts to work again. When I look at the logs there are no new entries. (That time frame is blank)
The apache conf is good because we make one conf file and push it to all the server at once.
Has anyone out there seen a problem like this or know where to start troubleshooting the server.
We've experienced this problem on one of our webservers, running SUSE 9.1, Apache 2 and kernal 2.6.4-52-smp, but are currently unsure about whether this is a hardware or software problem.
Like you, there's nothing in any of the logs in /var/log
It's probably worth it to try the kernel upgrade. I've had success doing this in similar cases, but it may not be your problem. Heat and defective hardware are two other obvious things to check.
Hi btmiller,
Thanks for your suggestion. I upgraded the kernel (with yast online_update) and all has been running fine for over a week. Possibly too early to say for sure, but so far haven't experienced a crash yet.
