This morning, apache crashed on the server that I assist a friend of mine (junglecat here) with. We finally managed to get it up and going - for some odd reason, restarting apache/httpd via Cpanel wouldn't get it going, but SSHing and typing via command line would.
I downloaded the apache error log, and it's CHOCK full of this, repeating over and over (and over) again:
DBD::mysql:t bind_columns failed: Statement has no result columns to bind (perhaps you need to successfully call execute first) at email.pl line 55.
DBD::mysql:t fetch failed: fetch() without execute() at email.pl line 56.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at email.pl line 59.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at email.pl line 61.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at email.pl line 76.
Have tried searching and either I'm not using the correct terms, or this doesn't happen that much (I am betting on the former). Any ideas?
I'm running a WAMP server, hosting an internal website for my company's use.
Windows XP Home SP3 Apache 2.0 MySQL Server 5.5 PHP 5.?
Last night Microsoft Security Essentials froze while running a scan. I restarted the scan and it froze again, so I rebooted the server. Now Apache won't start, providing the following error ....
This is so unimaginably frustrating. I have a website, fightgame.com, with MediaTemple for about 7 months? I don't know how long it's been, but WAY TOO LONG! If they aren't just flat out down, they are constantly having problems. I don't know why I've stayed with them this long, but I guess I've learned my lesson.
For several weeks my stock vbulletin site has sporadically been down due to database access errors. MediaTemple staff is pretty clueless and just couldn't figure it out. After telling them I had no choice but to leave, they agreed to put me on their MySQL container service for free to see if that solves the problems. They didn't tell me when they were going to move my MySQL database, they just did. That's fine, but shortly afterwards all my tables disappeared. Frantically, I opened tickets, called, etc.
It's been 2 days and NOBODY is responding to me whatsoever!!! I would think MediaTemple is out of business or something, what the heck is going on?? No information about what's going on, no plans, no hints as to when they might look into this, absolutely nothing. Well I shouldn't say absolutely nothing. Yesterday I got a response to 1 of my tickets saying they know there's a problem and have escalated the issue for someone to review...
Unfortunately yesterday was a huge day for my site because of the Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley megafight. This is when I get all the traffic and new users. But I was down all day long . REALLY unfortunately, my latest backup is somewhat old . I don't have all my recent posts and users... And I have a bad feeling that MediaTemple doesn't take backups of their servers. So what do I do? I've been involved in the hosting industry in one way or another for many years being a technologist and have never seen such extremely poor service. I don't understand, doesn't MediaTemple host some big sites like TechCrunch?? I guess they don't care at all about their smaller customers. Should I have my lawyer send them a letter or begin a lawsuit to get my data? I would normally assume a hosting company has backups, but MediaTemple is no ordinary hosting company.. If they do have backups, I so desperately want them. FightGame has grown very well and was very exciting for me, without those backups I don't know what's going to happen.
After not hearing from them (aside from escalating the issue for review) for 2 days, I've threatened posting my support tickets on WHT and now have threatened a letter from my lawyer. Do you guys want to see how ridiculous my support tickets are?
What are the best ways to reduce server power consumption?
I have a Dell Poweredge 860 (2.4ghz QC, 5GB RAM, 2 HDs) and it uses 0.46AMPs when running normally. The problem is at boot up it spikes for a few seconds here and there to about 0.6 and this is a real problem as I only have a 0.5AMP allowance.
my linux server crashed today. I found these are the last line in the log file just before i crashed.
Mar 8 07:21:00 myserver xinetd[5376]: warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer Mar 8 07:21:13 myserver xinetd[5395]: warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer
I've been with 3 dedicated hosts since 2005 and my sever experienced the first ever crash yesterday. I wanna know if any of you have experienced a crash once and not have it happen again after that time. As this is the first occurence, I'm feeling uneasy about the server stability.
I found phpmotion [url] and thinking about using this script, not only it is free but also it has the funtion that alow direct transfer video files from youtube to my server. Moreover, the phpmotion community is lovely.
The problem is that my hosting provider said this script is bad.
Quote:
While it will run on our servers I have heard nothing but bad things about this software on our servers. For quite a while it has caused issues to the point of crashing our servers but just recently (in the last couple days) we have found ways to put limits on our systems which should effect other programs/processes which will prevent this software from crashing our servers so whether or not this would be ok to run on our servers is a big *maybe* Alot of the issues appear to be related to the fact the software runs php by executing it via shell using the php executable which isn't really good considering that on our servers it will always make it use php4 which might not be what your site is running. PHPMotion is pretty much the only software I have heard discussed and has caused major issues on our servers so if you could avoid it I would definitely suggest you do! If you asked me about any software which is reported to have/cause problems on our servers without even mentioning phpmtion I would have answered phpmotion as that is the only one I have heard of which causes tons of issues.
my questions are:
1. Do you have the same experiences with phpmotion?
2. How can I reduce the problem?
3. If phpmotion is really bad, which video sharing script should be recommended?
Table '231_message' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
I haven't ever had this happen, is all my data truely lost or can i 'repair' it
i was moving sites to a different server (VPS -> dedicated) and on the vps i have a max of 20gb storage, well as i was using the cpanel transfer it filled this up because it didnt have a warning about this (i dont accept blame )
either way it seemed at this time someone on my site tried to make an adjustment to the table and it crashed it since there wasnt room? i really need to get this fixed asap so I can properly move this site with a working database
I'm hosting proxy sites on my vps and untill yesterday my proxy worked fine with no problems at all.
But while going trough my server graphs I found it odd that I had 0 bandwidth since the middle of yesterday.. I first supposed that this was due school's out [url]but this wasn't the reason I found out!
I tried testing one of my proxies to see if it was still working, but with any URL I try to visit I get:
The requested resource could not be loaded. libcurl returned the error: Couldn't resolve host 'www.google.com'
I suppose the DNS server crashed?
I already restarted the VPS 3 times including the DNS Server.
Does anyone know of any services that can help retrieve data from a crashed server. The server is managed but the support are saying that they are having problems retriving the data. The server had an os reload and they can't slave the old disk.
I have a crashed HD that I want to recover the data. I wonder if there is any method or software out there that can do this for me.
The hard drive is installed with centos and uses ext3 filesystem.
I have tried doing a mount, not if it is done correctly, but I only see "lost+found" on the hard drive.
Usually when this happens on my hard drive w/ windows, I use some data recovery software to extract the data. I don't know which software will do this for me on an ext3 filesystem running centos.
I am trying to start mysql but i am getting the following error
MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found! [FAILED] Starting MySQL................................... [FAILED]
I checked my hostname.err file in /var/lib/mysql and this is the error message it shows.
070130 17:59:41 mysqld started 070130 17:59:42 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Table './mysql/user' is marked as crashed and should be repaired 070130 17:59:42 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Table './mysql/user' is marked as crashed and should be repaired 070130 17:59:42 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table './mysql/user' is marked as crashed and should be repaired 070130 17:59:42 mysqld ended
how I would repair that to get mysql to start again?
Today my server just crashed instantly... It was running fine with a load of 0.12 but then it went down all the sudden. After a reboot I checked the /var/log/messages file and saw this:

So it seems like httpd crashed my server? I checked the Apache error_log and noticed lines like these:
Code: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08872c98 *** [Fri Mar 23 15:57:03 2007] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Premature end of script headers: /home/user/public_html/forum/index.php [Fri Mar 23 15:57:03 2007] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/500.shtml When I look at the whole error_log it seems like such errors appear frequently and for different websites and PHP applications. This isn't the only glibc error, there's also stuff like "*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x088e0bb8 ***". I have recently installed eAccelerator and searched the web: I'm not the only one who has such problems with eAccelerator. Do you think these glibc errors may have caused the server to crash?
Also, lately I noticed a lot of lines like these in the /var/log/messages file:
Code: Mar 23 15:47:45 alpha kernel: post_create: setxattr failed, rc=122 (dev=sda7 ino=4318565) and
Code: Mar 23 15:50:56 alpha ntpd[2958]: sendto(66.111.46.200): Operation not permitted I've done some Google'ing on the first error and it seems like someone with the same error got it fixed by running a filesystem check... By the way /dev/sda7 is my /home directory. But in order to run a filesystem check I need to disable all services and unmount /home? That's kind of a pain in the ***... In general, how long do you think it takes to run a filesystem check? Here's information about my /home partition:
after reinstalling the mta / postfix / smtp (because I couldn't send mails) my plesk is crashed.
I wanted to log in as admin but it doesn't accept my PW. Now with root and then it wants me to accept the license.
Now I copy all my /var/www/vhosts/ maybe when I do the setup steps in plesk it will overwrite all my website content... I hope not all plesk settings are away.
Why I pay every month money for a license? The trouble and work I have with Plesk..
My server hard disk is crashed badly. The rescue function in the server cannot take part and so I've tried using some recovery software to get back my data.
I've tried using Easy Recovery Professional. It sort all the files by it file type into different folder. I found a folder named .DB, there are also some .ado and . ldb folder too. I guess one of it is my database. The problem now is, i dunno how to read the file.
Do you have any idea to read it? I've tried many recovery system. eg. DiskInternals Linux Recovery, Disk Doctor Linux Recovery.
It seems the servers dns will not resolve and has crashed. When starting the "Named" service, here is the error:

On our production service, we've been getting numerous malformed POST requests to some of our CGI scripts that are showing up as 500 errors in our logs. They are malformed in the sense that the actual content length doesn't match the Content-Length specified in the request.
Here's the most trivial example I can come up with that reproduces the problem for us:
In addition to the 500 error in the access log, we see the corresponding error in the error log:
(70014)End of file found: Error reading request entity data
Based on the nature of the POST request and the error response, it does appear that Apache is doing the right thing here.
The POST never actually makes it as far as the script being targeted (/some_valid_alias in the above example); in other words, Apache returns 500 to the client, writes the error to the error log and never executes the script.
Is there a way to capture/avoid internal Apache errors like 70014, and return some other HTTP status besides 500 (like 403)? It's particularly annoying in our case, because our server sends us an email for all 500 errors.
So far, our best "defense" against these 500 errors is to disallow POST for these aliases, which normally just ignore the POST data anyway (when the request is not malformed):
I've had this problem a long time now with my hosting network and decided to ask here hoping I get some good solutions, or if someone is willing to looking at this (I'll pay if they want).
Here's what I mean: [url]
Problem is as you can see apache processes constantly rise infinitely, at least until I restart apache (/etc/init.d/httpd restart). The point of restart is shown in red lines.
And after restart, it goes down again for X amount of hours then eventually rises again infinitely until it's restarted again.
But the fact that after restart it remains down, it means it had the potential to be down all along.
So my question is: what could be causing this and does anyone have solution to keep them low at all times (as per graphs)?
The Linux Server got down when the MaxClients 256 is reached. Error Log:
"server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting"
So that I have tried to increased the MaxClients Value to 500, after changed the value in httpd.conf and restart I get following error message.
" [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart WARNING: MaxClients of 500 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers, lowering MaxClients to 256. To increase, please see the ServerLimit directive."
So that I tried changed the Server limit in /usr/local/apache/include/httpd.h header file. but it seems like there is no entry.
Apache Version : 2.2.8
So I have added the ServerLimit 500 entry in httpd.conf file and restart the httpd service. But still shows the same warning mesg. Please help me regarding this.
We have the Dedicated server for Flash Game Server with following configuration.
RHEL4 OS 2GB RAM Intel(R) Xeon(R) X3210 @ 2.13GHz Cpanel Installed. Apache 2.2.8 PHP 5.2.4 MySQL 4.1.2 (MySQL Server is working in differend server)
This redirect works fine on Apache 2.2.8, but doesn't work on Apache 1.3.41
The following is the entry from error_log: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^sap-latest-news/([0-9]*)/([A-Za-z0-9_-.]*).htm$'
A simple Rewrite is working fine in Apache 1.3, but the above regualar expression doesn't seem to be working on Apache 1.3. Does anyone know whether Apache 1.3 doesn't support it?
I am having an issue where I have a server that Directadmin is installed on. I go to the a url that is on the server and all i see is the default page of apache saying congrats, it is installed. Although there is no file like that in the public_html any longer and I can see my files in the public_html folder of that specific site.
I'm building a new server for a predominantly php5/mysql5 website and was wondering which version of apache to put on. I know there are some issues with PHP and Apache in MPM, but what's the performance comparison between Apache 1.3 and Apache 2 Prefork?
