Crashing Server (over and over)

Antwan · #1 24th July 2005, 01:27 PM

Hi,

I've just bought a dedicated server and maneged to install LAMP but every once in a few hours it just crashes down:

Code:

[Sat Jul 23 10:08:56 2005] [notice] child pid 13818 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

My config: FC4 Apache 2.0.54, Php 4.3.11 OpenSSL (0.9.7g), MySQL (4.1.12) and eAccelerator (0.9.3).

I really need some help with this, I get depressed thinking about this

See if you can give us any more information.

The code you posted is not very informative, as process ID 13818 will be different each time you boot your computer.

How long has the machine been on?

Do you suspect process 13818 is a server pogram itself, a process which it interacts with an external program or another program.

Do you run out of memory when these crashes are about to occur? Run top

thanks for your reply, the pid belongs to a httpd process I dont think its a memory problem since I have plenty of it (4gb), it crashes every other 6-7-8 hours, I have tried different server configurations (versions of apache and php). Doesnt Segmentation fault (11) indicate that its a hardware error?

It is an 'Invalid Memory Reference' (signal 11=SIGSEGV)

I just bumped this thread up for you.

Sorry, but you'll have to wait for someone else to reply

Could it be that your ram is damaged? Try to run memtest86.

I have heard about a bug in eaccelerator which causes these errors, so I turned the damn thing off and it hasnt crashed since (24 hours), lets hope it stays this way.
