I was in a bit of a hurry when i posted the first message. I will provide a bit more info. The server is a dual Pentium III 450 with 768MB memory and 12GB HD. It is running FreeBSD 3.3 with Apache 1.3.9 (mod_php compiled in) and a perl 5.005_03 external interpreter. An important part of both sites is the UBB forum, which we will soon replace by a php forum with mysql backend because UBB is a giant hog on server resources (especially two of them). The server load can become very high especially in the early evening, but as i mentioned before this seems to be due to the server running out of swap space before running out of conventional memory. This was in /var/log/messages right after the crash (after it had come up again of course :) Jan 24 10:11:04 sebulba /kernel: pid 44034 (perl), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 24 10:11:07 sebulba /kernel: pid 44038 (perl), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 24 10:11:08 sebulba /kernel: pid 44039 (perl), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 24 10:11:08 sebulba /kernel: pid 44037 (perl), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 24 10:11:09 sebulba /kernel: pid 44041 (perl), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 24 10:11:11 sebulba /kernel: pid 293 (mysqld), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space (and many more of the same) jeroen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
