RE: "Device not configured" after every command, crashing
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? -antonio From: "fbsd_user" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Antonio Lupher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: "Device not configured" after every command, crashing Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 08:56:29 -0500 Sounds like hardware problems caused by overheating.

PHP failure/SSH down-->Finally completely offline
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. -antonio _ Gift-shop online from the comfort of home at MSN Shopping!

Re: PHP failure/SSH down-->Finally completely offline
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. -antonio Antonio Lupher wrote: Warning: open(/tmp/sess_4a23ba911863d07812e9cdf99656586f, O_RDWR) failed: Device not configured (6) in Warning: open(/tmp/sess_4a23ba911863d07812e9cdf99656586f, O_RDWR) failed: Device not configured (6) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Failed to write session data (files).

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.
