Here's a question for the gurus of Linux Dark Mojo:
I have a RH Linux 7.2 box in my office I'm using for PHP/MySQL =
development.
I'm running PHP 4.0.6, MySQL 3.23.41, Samba 2.2.1a, and Apache 1.3.20,=20
on a PIII-600MHz box. I have several virtual hosts configured under the =
Apache server.
I use HomeSite 4.5 on a Win98 box to edit the source files,
and work directly in the Apache server web directories via SMB.=20
Normally it all works like greased lightning, but sometimes after about
a week or so of continuous operation, the Linux/Apache machine starts
to slow down, and eventually stops responding. Sometimes restarting =
httpd=20
or network will fix it, and sometimes I have to reboot to get it back =
up.=20
I'm not complaining, its still a hell of a lot better than rebooting
twice a day with Windows, but my production server is solid as a rock
and is configured nearly identical, so I'm wondering what I'm doing
wrong with the local machine. Any ideas?
