For mysterious crashes with no explanation, it's probably due to data corrupted by blown stacks. 99% of all the crashes I experience leave as their final grin this error message: ns_realloc: could not allocate %d bytes Invariably, this messages comes at a time in which I would have thought

Re: [AOLSERVER] The -s command line option

As a suggestion, a -e option with TCL that is eval'd before running nsd.tcl would be useful. We have 8 servers that are mostly configured the same except for a handful of parameters, specifically: - the listening port - does it need to load nsperms? - keepalive is not enabled for some - log

It appears that nscgi has a bug. If you turn on CGIInterps you lose the ability to run notn-interpreted cgi's. The case in point is trying to run NetSaint and CVSweb at the same time. Even though I have ns_section ns/interps/CGIInterps ns_param .pl /usr/bin/perl It reads files with no

We're using the -s option effectively, although it required a small modification to the server. If you take the following line from nsmain.c: nsconf.server = nsServer = server; And copy it above the section that loads the config file, then ns_info server will be available during config, and you

All, We've run into another problem under load testing. It seems that after a certain period of heavy load, the server just stops serving pages. All conn threads are still running, and you can telnet to port 80 on the machine, but asking for a page freezes forever. The server never recovers.

Re: [AOLSERVER]

2001-09-27 Thread Sean Owen
Thanks for your response! We're running on Linux, using Oracle and AOLServer 3.4. The problem still occurs even if we turn logging off completely, so it seems unlikely that that's the issue. Bouncing AOLServer clears things up, which makes me wonder about the Oracle idea. It's worth a look,
