It crashed with Segmentation Violation and a Panic Dump. We saw Apache and switched over to it. It ran fine for about two weeks. Now we are back to the Segmentation Violations and Panic Dumps. Our system: Silicon Graphics Indigo2 Extreme. 64megs of memory Tons of swap space Tested out the programs on a Mac running MacHTTP. They run fine there. All programs are written in Perl. The problem occurs (usually) after I do a "reload" from Mosaic, Netscape, or whatever browser I happen to be using at the time. I can be on the SGI itself, on another SGI, Mac, IBM, anything. Sometimes the SGI dies after one reload, two reloads, or ten reloads. Once it happened from just bringing up an HTML web page (no script involved at all). I am _REALLY_ at a loss to understand why it is doing this. Any ideas would be helpful. My idea to the sysop is that because httpd has to run as root, it is stomping on other processes which is causing our problems. But I can't prove it because I can't get a look at the dump files (the sysop is a bit paranoid I'd find out everyone's passwords). :-P Like I really care about anyone else's passwords. I'm just trying to get the server working so people can use the software. :-/ Anyway, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All e-mail needs to be sent to mark@cheers.jsc.nasa.gov.
