servers hang mysteriously
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi, We have a Compaq Proliant ML350 with two 1G P4's and hardware RAID. It's running RHL 7.3 with the general services services enabled. Only exception is that qmail and tinydns have replaced the original counterparts. A bare installation of X is present, just enough provide libraries that allow users to remotely view postscript files. Now the problem is that the server hangs intermittently, for no apparent reason. The keyboard stops responding, the monitor goes blank and it does not respond to ping packets. We had heard of a kernel bug in RHL 7.3 which causes SMP machines with ext3 to panic. But the hang-ups continue even after upgrading to kernel-smp-2.4.18-10 from redhat.com We suspect a hardware problem since an identical machine is working fine with the same setup. Only difference is that this second machine does not have active users yet. But where do I start looking to rule out any config problems, bad software, careless users etc? The logs never get written, since we have to reset the machine ...

popularise linux in our college
by Gurpreet Singh 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

hi luggerz We have an institution where the computers and IT deptt is new and there is a lot of enthusiasm pertaining to linux among the staff. We have a spl linux lab set up. But the prob is that linux is new to everyone. there are a few ppl like us who have attended seminars but we still are learning. i would like to sugggest that some of u plz visit us and hold a seminar for linux. Trever & Dr. Nag held one such seminar in the feb wherein we were introduced to linux and the i-lug bom. but very few ppl attended that since it was organized by the automobile deptt. Now we have around 200 students who have a whole linux lab to their disposal but dont know what to do with it. I ensure a much better response this time... adding to this, we have a college closeby in a similar situation and we can organise a seminar there too. two engg colleges in one shot... this was painting a very rosy picture... the downer is that the college is at abt 7 hrs journey from mumbai, but in feb trevor n dr nag were here :) what do u guiys think Gurpreet

Re: [ILUG-BOM] PHP Issues

Hi Kapil, >I am having an issue with a PHP site that i am building. I know >this is a bit offtrack but i will really appreciate it if >anyone >could suggest a solution. >I have a php script which is generating some dynamic content. >The file also contains other php scripts. I want to store the >content generated by the php script in a string rather than >outputting it to the browser window. I would want to know why you want to do this. There are better ways to cache content. If you don't want to display content if a particular script fails, than you should use output buffering. Refer the PHP manual. It's invaluable. Since you are still building a site, I suggest you have a look at this link. It's a recent article that I wrote, perhaps it may be of some help to you. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-phprock1/index.html And if you still want content in a variable, lets talk off-the-list. :) With warm wishes, Amol Hatwar.

Flush Qmail queue?
by Steven Rebello 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

I needed some help with the qmail setup in a firm I have just joined. The server is the gateway for an office intranet with qmail as MTA. Internal mail works fine, but since the linux box is on dial up, the outgoing messages are queued up. the server auto-dials ( using wvdial ) every half-hour and fetchmail is executed (in ip-up.local). The problem is that some times the qmail queue does not get cleared and some emails are never sent. daemontools are not installed.The qmail daemon is started using the csh -cf method. I looked up qmail.org and tried the recommended kill -TERM <qmail-send pid> but does not seem to work. Does anyone know why this happens? And is there any method by which I can manually flush the queue and send all the messages instantly? If there is any more info needed, pls let me know. Thanks for any help, Steven Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy Music, Video, CD-ROM, Audio-Books and Music Accessories from http://www.planetm.co.in Change the way you talk.

FETCHMAIL Problem
by Anil Mare 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Hi All, Can anyone help me out with the following situation? A littile bigger mail, sorry! but can't help!! The Scenario: My mail server is in US of A. I have two locations here in Mumbai Have two multi-drop mailboxes for each location on the US server. Two locations have local linux mail servers, which fetches their respective multi-drop mailboxes from US server and distribute locally. The domain at US server: domainname.com The domain for the server at first location: domainname.com The domain for the server at first location: domainname.com (the same, this is done so that the local mails will be distributed locally.) The mails are delivered using virtusertable. the mails for the users at other location are forwarde to the US server using www.domainname.com (www is specified in the local DNS as the ip of US serever (using @domainname:%1@www.domainname.com) The mails at both the locations are fetched using fetchmail. The Problem: When the mails at one location r fetched having the following header: To: user_at_location1(a)domainname.com, user_at_location2(a)domainname.com (no problem of the TO: has all users for the same location ) The mail for first user is dropped locally, while fetchmail is delivering a mail to second user also, which with the help of virtusertable is sent again to the US server (P.S.: user two already has received his copy of mail) Sometimes the mails r roaming in the following manner. location1 <-> US_Server <-> location2 <-> US_Server <-> location1 I know this is a fetchmail problem, that to cos of the multidrop mailbox, but can't help myself, can anyone??
