[users@httpd] Apache Server on Mac OSX - Can it interfere with user settings?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm running Apache Server 1.3.34 on Mac OSX 10.3.9. My user settings have been reset overnight on two occasions, cause unknown. Troubleshooting and discussions on two forums led to a suggestion that I look into Apache Server behavior. Specifically, I'm using an app called Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to do daily incremental (and full monthly) backups to an external Firewire drive. It turned out I was scheduling the backup task as a cron task at the same time that periodic maintenance was being done by the system.

A workaround suggestion from CCC experts was to schedule the backup task when no cron jobs would be running. But they also suggested that scheduling the backup task on a system that was running services, such as httpd, may be the problem. I doubt that it would be so fragile. Is there any reason to not keep a cron job for disk backup on a server running httpd? Does anyone know of any scenario wherein a collision between a file backup task and httpd activities could cause user settings to be wiped out?

I'm going on the assumption that de-conflicting the backup task from the periodic maintenance tasks will fix the problem. But since it's intermittent it will take some time to verify this. So in the meantime I'd appreciate any insight on how httpd may or may not be a factor.
