Had such great help with my rpm problem that I thought I'd try to get help with my other problem About once a day since I upgraded from RH 7.3 to RH9 my server locks up It's a Atlon 2.4G with 1G RAM Yesterday I happened to be running top when it happened and noticed a couple of httpd processes using up to 500 MB each! Needless to say my RAM AND swap partition were maxed out (hence the system lock up) I was able to kill them and get httpd stopped to sort out the details >From what I can deduce, my problems begin with a call to get a stream ie (from access_log) 81.248.7.250 - - [28/May/2003:13:53:05 -0400] "GET /stream?m=xhIrB2ma0im0f300000000000000000000000000b8jcc000000010000G00RCNQcfpBlOZDk8JDmuICuWZBte3EmyoCu0JBn0020O4EnuYCqWZBtuYCr0ZEu03BWKLL9HKF6LJEs8pGq43EsC3Dn43HtWpG5D3DqGJDrCJDq03Cm0JBu4ZBoG3EkSZBoK3CwW3C HTTP/1.1" 404 1067 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Chaincast)" and 205.200.10.71 - - [28/May/2003:14:01:57 -0400] "GET /stream?m=xhIrB2Gf0im0f300000000000000000000000000CA48_000000010000G00RCNQcfpBlOZDk8JDmuICuWZBte3EmyoCu0JBn0020WbCmKZBo03Ck43CkSJCj4JDsuICnuICmGZBn0pCwW3Ci0ILLb4Hz4qG2DqGmKZHvOaGuGJHsS3EoGqCs4qD61JEsSJEp8KHj4JDsuICnuICmGZBn0pCwW3C HTTP/1.0" 404 1067 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 2000 Service Pack 1; Chaincast)" It seems to be coming from different people (but it looks like they are all using some sort of windows product) I have httpd-2.0.40-21 and haven't yet upgraded to the release from a couple of days ago but the description with that didn't sound like my problem Any help/advice (including where this post would be better directed) are appreciated -- Brian Johnson * This is where my witty signature line would be if I bothered to edit this line :) *
