Hi all, A 6x86-233MHz machine with 32Mb RAM (too little, this will change soon) running 4.2-RELEASE with Apache+PHP has rebooted a couple of times without warning. Just now it appears that it rebooted, worked for 60 seconds, then died for 30 minutes (!) and rebooted again. I'm not sure what it was doing for 30 minutes and what caused it to come good again, it may have been someone rebooting it. Is anyone else running a similar combination of OS/web server+PHP? Seen any unusual problems like this? Nothing is logged via syslog prior to the reboot. Regarding low RAM, I don't believe it's running out of swap because during normal use it doesn't go over 10% swap used, and if it *did* run out of swap it would spend a fair amount of time thrashing and slowing to a crawl before this happened. Not in this case, it just suddenly went off the air. Is 4.2-RELEASE considered stable enough for production use? I thought it was, but just checking - the server had to be thrown together quicker than I would have liked. ;\ I haven't done any tweaks to the kernel settings. A downgrade to 3.x wouldn't be impossible if there was a good enough reason. TIA...
