Hi, I am using woody 3.0 stable and apache1.3.26/php4/mysql.(newbie on debian)... I did all the installations and updates using apt-get....
While I was developing and testing my uploaded on debian php files...the php files suddenly stop responding(or taking very long time, on local network)...and only the default debian "Welcome to Your New Home in Cyberspace!" was working..After few minutes the php files were working ok again... Then I closed my debian's server port to the Internet on my router. And did a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, which did the following updates: apache-common 1.3.26-0woody5 replace apache-common 1.3.26-0woody3 apache 1.3.26-0woody5 replace apache 1.3.26-0woody3 (which looks fine since apache 1.3.26-0woody5 was released on the 24th of June) My question is does apache on debian make routine tasks like sorting log files or emptying memmory? and which are those? I am asking this because looking at my apache/error.log I get "SIGUSR1 received" as you can see below at a time when I do nothing with the server...and nobody was really accessing the server(according to access log).. why is that? the php files stop responding around Jun 27 17:06:00 should I worry about it and could it be related with the "SIGUSR1 received"? Finally would you know any good web site for debian/apache security and administration? Thanks in advance, Alexis my apache/error.log : [Sun Jun 27 05:03:57 2004] [error] [client 82.35.43.146] request failed: URI too long [Sun Jun 27 06:25:34 2004] [notice] SIGUSR1 received.
