Oh one more thing that might be important. The current system is created by moving the harddrive
from one machine to an identical (however with somewhat different plugged in Hw), as the first machine
just went out and wouldnt boot at all. So having access to a second DellDimension5000 I just switched drive.

On the first machine I didnt have really the same frequency of hickup, there it was much longer periods between downtimes.p

Hi George,

interesting that the system is running at all... did you make backups of the files there? You should, and on occasion do a fresh install and put the data back in place.

Meanwhile, you will find the log files at /var/log, using (as root)
ls /var/log
and see what is there. You should find /var/log/boot.log showing you the last boot, and you should have /var/log/httpd/ containing some error logs, e.g., /var/log/httpd/error_log.
You can view the logs using less, e.g.
less /var/log/httpd/error_log

Cheers,
Peter
