Another day, another problem. ;) This time it's a somewhat more recent (but still old) OpenACS site, that has always run under AOLserver 4.0.10. Overnight it got hit pretty hard by the Yahoo crawler, and it has stopped responding. Netstat shows 117 connections, 78 in CLOSE_WAIT state and the rest in SYN_RECV.
This site would hang up very occasionally on my old system; I would just restart it, since it didn't happen often enough to worry about. But it has only been running for about 16 hours, and that is way too soon to be doing this. The new system is more powerful than the old one, and runs a much newer 64 bit Linux, vs a very old 32 bit one. It's entirely possible that my configuration (connections) is not ideal, but it hasn't changed so I would expect it to run at least as well on the new system as it did on the old. For now I will just restart it but I'm sure this will happen again. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? I have never had much luck over the years figuring this out; I usually just end up installing keepalive to restart, but that is really not ideal. thanks, janine -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <lists...@listserv.aol.com> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
