Making topic titles like (what I assume was supposed to say) "Urgent" isn't going to get you any help because people don't know what you are asking about without actually reading the topic. To make matters worse, this isn't even in the right forum. The newbie forum is for beginners questions, not advanced questions being asked by people who happen to be beginners.
Ask a moderator to move this topic to a more appropriate forum and give it a descriptive name, that is the only way you are likely to get any help.
As per the previous poster, read the forum rules and title your threads properly.
People will ignore your posts if the title is not meaningful.
Is your post above correct that you're using Fedora Core 2? If so, thats an ancient version of Fedora.
So my suggestion to you is to seek professional help in upgrading your Fedora first before even considering restoring service. Such an old version is open to attacks on a daily basis.
I can understand why you've stuck with fedora 2; on a server, you don't want to keep messing about with it. But it's really too old for anyone to remember how fix it when it goes wrong.
I'd advise you to get CentOS. It's very similar in appearance to Fedora (both are Red Hat based), it's widely used on servers, and it's supported with bug-fixes for 5 years (only 1 year for Fedora).
Thanks for everything. I found out that the log entries were full. I had to empty it once in a while. So I did and wrote a script to Find and eliminate log entries once every 1 months, if the size if greater and 200 MB.
Things are working fine, thanks to you to indicate me grade with Fedora 11 /12 or with Ubuntu 9 / 10) as proxy server. I hope it should do.
