RE: "Device not configured" after every command, crashing

2004-01-26 Thread Antonio Lupher
I had them clean off the dust and reboot the server, however it soon went 
down:
The following error was printed on the screen, it appears the server 
utilized all the console buffer space making keyboard interaction 
impossible.
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)

Any ideas on what to do?

Sounds like hardware problems caused by overheating.
Open the PC cover and blow out all the dust.
Leave cover off and see if problem reoccurs.
The PC's power supply may be going bad, replace.

FBSD 4.4 is real old you should install 4.9 to separate HD with out
any ports to see if problem is bad HD.

Subject: "Device not configured" after every command, crashing
I'm a newbie running FreeBSD (I believe it's 4.4... am at the moment
unable
to check, as the computer is down) to host some of my websites.  I
sent a
query to this mailing list before about receiving some errors when
trying to
access my website, after which, ssh would stop logging me into the
server
("Connection closed by [server ip]"), and all web pages would bring
up a
"Forbidden" error.  After this, the server would go down
completely... or at
least I was unable to ping it, access it through http, or anything
else that
I tried...
This has been happening regularly, about every 3-7 hours after the
computer
is rebooted.  However, while the computer is running, I can
distinguish
nothing out of the ordinary.
However, tonight, it "crashed" while i was logged in through ssh.
Suddenly,
almost every command that I issued or program I tried to run came
back as
"Device not configured."
e.g.:
# reboot
/sbin/reboot : Device not configured
Some things work... (lynx, ping, ps -- all seem to work fine) but
many other
commands just return the "Device not configured" or "Segmentation
fault"
errors.  Also very odd: ls, cd, pwd, etc. seem to work fine, but
when I ls
any directory, no files come up.  It is completely blank
Anyway, I'm very scared and at my wit's end.  The system will appear
normal
once it's rebooted, but the same thing will happen within a few
hours... Any
suggestions on what to look for?  Are there certain log files that
may
contain information on this?  I think the most recent thing I did to
the
server was several weeks ago, when I installed "wusage" to analyze
web
logs... i had since deleted it.  Maybe something went wrong there?
Hmmm
Thanks!

PHP failure/SSH down-->Finally completely offline

2003-11-22 Thread Antonio Lupher
Hi.  I'm having some trouble with my server.  It's running FreeBSD 4.7 and 
there's a website on it that's using PHP/MySQL.  The last three nights in a 
row, it has been crashing...

First, I try to access the website, and I get the following errors, whenever 
a PHP call is invoked:
==
Warning:  open(/tmp/sess_4a23ba911863d07812e9cdf99656586f, O_RDWR) failed: 
Device not configured (6) in 
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mysite/includes/template.inc on line 14
  Database error occurred: Couldn't connect to server.  Please inform the 
administrator about this.
Warning:  open(/tmp/sess_4a23ba911863d07812e9cdf99656586f, O_RDWR) failed: 
Device not configured (6) in Unknown on line 0
 Warning:  Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the 
current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
===

I then try to login via ssh... but I get "Connection closed by [my ip]".  
Ports 25 and 110 are similarly inaccessible.  After a while, even the 
website goes down, and the server is completely inaccessible on port 80.  
However, when my ISP reboots the computer, it starts up normally and 
everything seems to be working.  (I did have to reset the date this last 
time, though)

Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on what to look for--or can help me diagnose 
the problem, I'd be very appreciative.

Re: PHP failure/SSH down-->Finally completely offline

2003-11-24 Thread Antonio Lupher
I have looked at the log files in /var/log, but can't find anything out of 
the ordinary.  Which should I be looking and (what should I be looking 
for?).  How can I tell if /tmp is a disk filesystem or a ramdisk?
I have also noticed two processes running that I hadn't seen before:

   6 con  Is+0:00.11 sh /etc/rc autoboot
447 con  I+ 0:00.00 sh /etc/rc autoboot
Might this mean anything?  Anyway, it's still crashing very regularly... 
about every 6 hours or so.

It seems to me there is something wrong with your /tmp filesystem, causing 
both php and apache to be unable to write temp files, and also causes 
problems for several other daemons.

Do your logfiles in /var/log tell you anything ? They should ;)
Is /tmp a disk filesystem, or a ramdisk ?

Hi, Per the recommendation, I had the system administrators have removed the 
cover and cleanse the dust.  They also noted an error with the server, it is 
as follows:  The following error was printed on the screen, it appears the 
server utilized all the console buffer space making keyboard interaction 
impossible.
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)

Does this mean anything to anyone? any suggestions?
